Welcome to Heidelberg Occasional Care!

Heidelberg Occasional Care (HOCC) is a non profit community based organisation which aims to give local families the opportunity to take a break whilst their children are nurtured in a warm, stimulating and caring environment. Our small community centre is owned by and partially funded by the Banyule council, and the remainder of our monies are raised through fundraising activities generously supported by the families of HOCC.

Our centre and programs are managed and delivered by qualified early childhood coordinators and well experienced carers (grandmothers and mums!), assisted by a management committee of local parents (mums and dads) whose children are both permanent and casual participants of our sessions.

Our centre delivers a variety of morning sessions in either 3 hour or 5 hour blocks which cater for children aged 6 months to 3 years. Along with 3 hour afternoon sessions specifically designed for 3 year plus children who require an introduction to a structured pre-kindergarten program.

Our early childhood coordinators plan activities in support of educational needs of children of different age groups, and consider the social, emotional and physical needs at their various stages of development.

As a parent, you can leave your child at HOCC secure in the knowledge that they will be under the guidance and supervision of dedicated and qualified staff.
