YWCA Victoria assists newly-arrived immigrants and refugee families find suitable child care while they attend English language classes.

Every term, YWCA Victoria receives approximately 500 requests for child care from language centres. The care is usually arranged a few weeks prior to the new term. YWCA Victoria contacts the family and arranges a child care place in the most appropriate child care service, either close to home or to the language centre. The care is provided at no cost to the family.

A range of different services are used, which include family day care, long day care, half day care, occasional care and kindergarten.
