Childcare in Sunshine West
High-quality early learning for Sunshine West families — a warm, home-like centre and funded kindergarten just a few minutes away on Anderson Road, Albion.
Anderson Road Child Care Centre sits just over in Albion, a short drive from Sunshine West via Glengala Road and Anderson Road. Many Sunshine West families make the trip 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.
