    The kindy DD went to was at a primary school with an OSHC program which the kindy kids could attend if needed. I'm sure there would be some in your area with similar arrangements. Most primary schools have websites which should reveal whether they have OSHC programs, or you can look them up using the My Child website. http://www.mychild.gov.au/

    Alternatively, some community child care centres close to schools drop off & collect children from kindy sessions, but you still have to pay the session fees. Another option is to find a family day carer, most of them do school & kindy pick ups & drop offs if needed.

    I'm hoping to find a kindy on school grounds but am struggling! Family day care is a good idea. I hadn't considered that!

    there are a number of family day carers in my area who do kinder dropoff/pickups. My 4 yr old kinder hours are 9-2.30 and 1-4, so not very friendly if both parents work standard hours.
