Child Safety is our #1 priority at the Y.
We support children holistically throughout their early education. From their first day with us at early learning, right through to fun activities during the school holidays - we've got the right program for your child.
The Y Victoria's Early Learning programs are available for children aged from six weeks to five years old. Our early learning centres offer both child care (long day care) and Free Kinder.
We also run Outside School Hours Care for five year olds to 12 year olds, which includes Before and After School Care and School Holiday Programs.
More support for families in 2026
Starting January 2026, the Australian Government will introduce the 3 Day Guarantee, making child care more accessible for families who don’t meet the usual Child Care Subsidy (CCS) activity test.
Eligible families will receive up to 72 subsidised hours per fortnight, approximately three days per week in most centres.
This means:
- More time for your child to learn, play and grow
- More flexibility and support for you
- More affordable care for more families
Enrolments for 2026 are now open. Secure your preferred days early – limited spaces available!
