Who should come here?
Come here if you need long-day care or kinder in West Footscray 3012 and a booked tour of 282-288 Geelong Road.
Enrolment and vacancies still live with the centre. Run the house CCS calculator, then confirm the gap fee with Footscray, not a Beaconsfield leftover line on the same FAQ. Transition to school is a program name, not a guaranteed Foundation place at Footscray Primary or City Primary. Find My School is for those government gates.
If you wanted 100 Geelong Road, that is Footscray Primary No. 253. If you wanted Hyde Street, City Primary. If you wanted a private RTO on the river, Gaps. If you wanted VU Park, 70-104 Ballarat Road. This door is childcare.

CCS, bonds and daily gaps still live with the centre. StartingBlocks is a find-care listing, not a vacancy board. Book the tour before you take a morning off work.
Which door and how to park
Match 282-288 Geelong Road in West Footscray, postcode 3012. West Footscray station on the Sunbury line is closer than Irving Street. The 82 tram and hospital traffic sit on this corridor.
Street parking is short. Unload a pram only after the number matches the fascia. After dark this is a childcare door on a busy road. Leave toward the lit Geelong Road spine.
A parent who parked at the hospital because Geelong Road felt close enough is how a 7:05 drop-off dies. After 6:30 the centre is closed. Public holidays are closed.
If you need a different door
