Flexible & High-Quality
Flexible Care That Supports Families and Encourages Lifelong Learning
At Alphababies Pty Ltd, Illawarra, NSW, we understand that balancing work, life, and parenting can be a challenge—which is why our long day care service is designed with flexibility and family needs in mind. Open from 7:30 am to 6:00 pm, our centres provide extended hours to support working families, shift workers, and those with varying routines. But we offer more than just reliable childcare—we provide a nurturing, home-away-from-home where your child is known, supported, and celebrated every day. From the moment they walk in, your child is welcomed into a warm, stimulating environment where learning happens naturally through play, connection, and curiosity. Our long day care isn’t a one-size-fits-all experience—it’s thoughtfully tailored to suit your child’s age, interests, and development, giving them the best possible start in life.
Builds Strong Foundations
A Balanced Day of Learning, Play, and Rest
Our long day care programs are designed to support the full wellbeing of your child—emotionally, socially, physically, and intellectually. Each day is thoughtfully structured to blend indoor and outdoor learning, quiet and active play, group engagement and individual exploration. Children have the freedom to move between experiences that support different areas of development—from imaginative play and problem-solving games to sensory exploration and storytelling. Our outdoor classrooms offer fresh air and nature-based learning, giving children the chance to dig, climb, plant, observe insects, or simply enjoy the rhythm of the natural world. Indoors, children can express themselves through art, music, construction, and dramatic play—all within a safe, supportive environment. Every activity is guided by qualified, empathetic educators who understand how to support each child’s unique learning style and emotional needs.

Build Confidence and Friendships
At Alphababies, we believe that meaningful relationships are the foundation for learning. Our long day care centres prioritise emotional security and social development, helping children form strong bonds with both educators and peers. Children are encouraged to express themselves, work together, and solve problems through shared experiences. This supportive environment helps build confidence, resilience, and a strong sense of belonging—all essential for preparing your child for preschool, school, and life beyond. Our educators work closely with families to maintain continuity between home and care, keeping you informed and involved every step of the way. Whether it’s your child’s first time in care or you’re transitioning from another service, we make the process smooth and comforting for everyone involved.
