Maroondah Occasional Care

Maroondah Occasional Care is Council’s Early Years Learning Service and a funded long day care centre.

The service provides a flexible and high quality range of childcare options for children from 6 weeks of age (following their first immunisation) up to 5 years old. This offers families the opportunity to attend work, appointments, or to support their child's socialisation in a mixed aged setting.

Our highly qualified staff offer a program based on the Early Years Learning Framework and National Quality Standards to ensure that it is stimulating, developmentally appropriate and designed to respond to your child’s individual interests and needs. Maroondah Occasional Care also highlights the value of community connections, nature play and the importance of creating a sustainable environment.

Families provide food (and nappies) for their child which enables choice and allows us to offer affordable care.

We offer:

permanent term bookings
casual/emergency care bookings.

Enrol your child

Maroondah Occasional Care will be welcoming an Early Childhood Teacher in the new year. With this addition, we will have increased capacity to enrol children and can offer more places at our service.

Care is available Monday to Friday, including during school holidays, except for the January school holidays when the service is closed. Bookings are renewed annually or by calling to check availability.
