What we offer
Childcare in Spearwood for every age & stage
Sonas Spearwood 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.
Free pickup from any school in our catchment
Our Sonas bus collects your school-aged child from any school within our pickup catchment around Spearwood and brings them safely to Sonas Spearwood for after-school care (OSHC). Drop off at school in the morning — we handle the rest.
