Childcare Services in Albion 3020
A warm, home-like long day care centre and funded kindergarten right here in Albion 3020, on Anderson Road, where we’ve cared for local families for over 16 years.
If you live in Albion, you probably already know our cottage on Anderson Road with the yellow picket fence. Anderson Road Child Care Centre is a privately run long day care and kindergarten caring for children from 6 weeks to 5 years, guided by the Early Years Learning Framework and assessed as Meeting NQS.
Because we’re a single, independent centre rather than a chain, the director knows every child and family personally. Days are unhurried, meals are cooked fresh on site and included in the fee, and you get daily photos and updates through the OWNA app.
Our standard long day care fee is $165 per day before the Child Care Subsidy, which most families are eligible for. Funded 3 and 4 year old kindergarten is free for eligible families, saving around $2,101 per child each year.
