Occasional Care

Cire’s Occasional Care Service is located in a purpose-built room at the Yarra Ranges Council’s Upper Yarra Family Centre.

It is an asset within the community because it assists families in terms of employability and having their children cared for, attending appointments or providing a social outlet for their child in a mixed-aged setting.

The service offers families flexible access to child care on a regular, sessional or ad hoc basis. Families can choose 3-hour or 5-hour sessions.

Delivered by our experienced and qualified educators, it provides a wonderful learning environment for children aged 3 months to 5 years. The play-based program is stimulating and developmentally appropriate and responds to the needs and interests of each child.

Eligible families can claim the Federal Government’s child care subsidy.

Please note that families provide whatever food may be required by their child/ren.
