Why Narre Warren families choose family day care
Narre Warren has plenty of childcare centres around Fountain Gate and along the main roads. Family day care is a different option: your child is looked after in a home, in a group of no more than seven, with no more than four under school age.
For babies and toddlers, that usually means a quieter day and one main carer. For families with more than one child, mixed ages mean siblings can often go to the same educator, with before and after school care for the older one.
Narre Warren is on the Pakenham train line, and our care hours (6am to 7:30pm weekdays, plus Saturdays) are set for parents who commute or work shifts.
What your child's day looks like
Educators plan around each child's interests using the Early Years Learning Framework. A typical day mixes free play with Montessori-style activities, stories, meals, rest and time outside.
- Small group, one consistent educator
- Rest and sleep that follow your child's routine
- Learning stories and updates shared with you
- Regular visits and support from our coordination team
