Childcare in Sunshine North
High-quality child care and long day care for Sunshine North families, with funded kindergarten on site, a few minutes away on Anderson Road, Albion.
Anderson Road Child Care Centre is a straightforward drive south from Sunshine North, just over in Albion. Sunshine North families choose us because the centre feels different, a real weatherboard home with cosy rooms and a garden, rather than a large, echoey building.
We care for children from 6 weeks to 5 years, with a play-based program guided by the Early Years Learning Framework and assessed as Meeting NQS. Meals are cooked fresh on site and included, and you follow your child’s day in real time through the OWNA app.
Long day care is $165 per day before the Child Care Subsidy. Funded 3 and 4 year old kindergarten is free for eligible families, around $2,101 a year in savings, and is delivered by a bachelor-qualified early childhood teacher.
