By offering flexible options for parents and carers, Lalor LLC is working to support families in the local community, giving them the best possible care for their child and a fulfilling experience where they can learn and grow. Child care at Lalor LLC falls into two main categories, Casual Sessions and Term Bookings.
Casual Sessions
Casual Sessions are up to 5 hours long and can be booked in as needed (max 15 hours per week). It is advisable that you make your booking in advance however we are able to accept bookings on the day of the session when there is an available space.
Casual Sessions are a great support for parents that have appointments or meetings they need to attend. If you have a work roster that changes frequently discuss your needs with us and we can help you book the care you need for your child.
Term Bookings
Weekly Sessions up to five hours long (max 15 hours per week) can be booked for the term ahead. This secures the session for your child every week.
By attending regular sessions your child is able to settle into their routine at child care, getting to know the carers and build friendships with the other children.
It also allows parents and carers to plan ahead, attend classes, work, appointments and meetings, knowing in advance that their children are booked in.

Our Program
Child Care at Lalor LLC offers a range of activities suitable for the children’s interest and stage of development. These may include story time, puppet plays, interactive singing and dancing, outdoor play, puzzles, drawing, painting and relaxation time. The program is designed to enhance:
- Social & Emotional Development
- Fine & Gross Motor Development
- Self-help Skills
- Cognitive & Language Development
As children get older and head towards “pre-kinder” age their sessions are more structured, looking at pre-literacy, pre-maths and self help skills with the view of preparing them for a kindergarten setting.

For children it means they can use the language they feel most comfortable with and have the benefit of experiencing English in a natural and relaxed way. So you can leave your child knowing they will be understood.
