What we offer
Sonas Gosnells provides quality long day care for babies through pre-kindy (0–5 years), Monday to Friday, Mon-Fri 6:30am-6pm. For school-aged children we offer before and after school care (OSHC) — including a free school-pickup bus that collects kids from local schools and brings them safely to our centre. During every WA school holiday period we run full-day vacation care with excursions, themed weeks, and the same Sonas team your child already knows.
Every Sonas program is approved for the Australian Government's Child Care Subsidy (CCS), which can reduce eligible families' fees by up to 90%. Our FREE Pathfinders Pre-Kindy readiness program prepares 4–5 year olds for kindergarten, and our Protective Education program (delivered with Safe4Kids) supports every child's emotional safety.
Our Sonas bus collects your school-aged child from any school within our pickup catchment around Gosnells and brings them safely to Sonas Gosnells for after-school care (OSHC). Drop off at school in the morning — we handle the rest.
Want to confirm we pick up from your child's school or local suburb? Call (08) 6184 6035 or book a free tour.

From families at this centre
“We moved our kids to Sonas in May to better suit the needs of our family. We have a 5 year old and nearly 3 year old twins. Sonas has definitely exceeded our expectations. My 5 year old loves having the day at Sonas rather than kindy especially now school is finished.”
