Long day care, before and after school care and vacation care all under one roof
The most affordable long day care on the Central Coast
Long Day Care
Long Day Care at Central Gardens Childcare Early Education Centre starts from just $86/day, and is considerably more affordable than many other centres in the area. This is because we see our business as an extension of our family. We do this work because we love kids, not because we want to make huge profits.
Our fees cover everything that is needed to ensure your child has a great day at the centre every time they attend. The children recieve breakfast if they arrive early, morning
tea, afternoon tea and light snack for supper if needed. We ask that you provide lunch for your child and a communal piece of fruit daily.
The fees also allow us to implement many educational programs such as the Bonkers Beat Musical Program, the Let’s Count Mathematics Program, the Munch and Move Physical Movement Program, Yoga and Auslan Signing. The only things not included in our fees are nappies and cot sheets, which we ask that you provide so your child has some familiar sights and smells from home.

Before and After School Care and Vacation Care
Our early education centre also offers before and after school care and vacation care for primary school aged children, starting from $18/day. We find that a number of our families have children of various ages, and the convenience of having all their children cared for in the same place is invaluable.
During before school care, we supply a nourishing breakfast for your child. During after school care, we provide a healthy afternoon snack, a nutritious supper of vegetables if needed, and offer Homework Support. The kids can also participate in our Yoga program if they like.
Our fees also cover the cost of a private bus driven by a qualified and licenced driver that will ensure the safe drop off and pick up of your child to and from school and the centre each day.
Our Vacation Care program includes a mixture of in-house activities and excursions to keep the children occupied and stimulated throughout the school holidays. We often visit the Australian Reptile Park, go to the movies and visit indoor physical movement centres.
