Long Day Care Sunshine | Albion

Nurturing Young Minds for Over 11 Years

Choosing the right early education setting for your child is one of the most important decisions you’ll make as a parent. At Anderson Road Child Care Centre, we provide a Long Day Care program that goes beyond just “daycare.” We offer a nurturing, educational, and flexible environment that feels like a second home—especially for busy families in Albion, Sunshine, and Sunshine West.

🌟 What Is Long Day Care?

Long Day Care is a full-day early learning and care service for children aged from birth to school age. Unlike sessional programs that operate only during school terms and for a few hours a day, Long Day Care runs all year round, providing extended hours and comprehensive care. It includes:

Education and school readiness programs
Nutritious meals and snacks
Rest and nap times
Social, emotional, and physical development activities

At Anderson Road Child Care Centre, our Long Day Care program is delivered by qualified early childhood educators and designed to align with the Victorian Early Years Learning and Development Framework (VEYLDF).

🕰️ Operating Hours & Flexibility

Our centre is open Monday to Friday, from 6:30 AM to 6:30 PM, offering true flexibility for working parents and carers.

Whether you need care five days a week or just a couple of days, our program adapts to your family’s schedule. We also operate throughout the year, including school holidays (excluding public holidays and centre closures).

🧠 Education Meets Care

While we provide essential care, we are first and foremost an early education centre, offering both sessional and integrated kindergarten programs for families exploring school readiness options. Our Long Day Care program includes:

Play-based learning tailored to each child’s interests
Literacy and numeracy development
Science, art, music and movement
Outdoor physical activity
Group time and social skills
School readiness for older children

All learning experiences are led by qualified Early Childhood Teachers (ECTs) and trained educators who work closely with families to support each child’s growth.

🥗 Meals, Rest, and Daily Routine

Children in our Long Day Care program enjoy:

✅ Nutritious meals – including breakfast, morning tea, lunch, afternoon tea, and a late snack
✅ Nappy changes and toilet training support
✅ Rest or nap time, depending on the child’s age and needs
✅ Outdoor play and physical development in our nature-inspired play spaces

Everything is provided onsite—so there’s no need to pack meals, nappies, or bedding.

🎯 Who Is Long Day Care Best For?

Working families needing full-day care and flexible drop-off/pick-up times
Parents who want an education-focused program with care included
Children who thrive in a consistent, nurturing routine
Families seeking year-round care rather than just term-based programs
