Welcome to Daylesford Community Childcare!

We are a not-for-profit Incorporated Association run by a parent committee in Daylesford, in the Hepburn Shire. Our centre has 79 spaces available for children between six weeks of age and including school aged children in our Outside School Hours Care (OSHC). We operate four rooms in the centre, including two years of integrated kindergarten and an off-site location for OSHC currently at Daylesford Primary School.

Our OSHC services collects children from Hepburn Primary, Daylesford Primary, Daylesford Dharma School and St Michaels Primary School and provides an educational program every afternoon during school terms. Each school holidays, we endeavor to run a holiday program to school-aged children that attracts childcare subsidy.

Our centre was founded in 1989 and is an Incorporated Association and managed by parents who form a Committee of Management. We provide accredited quality care and aim to encourage children to be actively involved in the learning process, to experience a variety of developmentally appropriate activities and to pursue their own interests in the context of life in the community and the world.
