Choosing the right childcare is an important decision for every family. We recommend visiting different types of care to find the one that best suits your family's needs. Visiting a centre helps you understand how it operates, how it supports your child’s growth and development and whether it feels right for both you and your child.
Childcare options include:
- Family daycare
- Long daycare/Childcare Centre
- Outside school hours care
- Vacation care

Council Supported Childcare Centres
The City of Darwin supports several childcare centres by providing and maintaining the buildings they operate from. Each centre offers early education and care, with differences in services, hours, fees and availability.
Families are encouraged to contact centres directly to find the best fit.
