hi all. im currently in Singapore, and will be moving to melbourne in the last quarter of the year. i read school in Australia is from 9 til 3pm. i have an 8 year old daughter. i'm just wondering where all the parents leave their children from 3 o'clock to 5? (until the end of office day) i dont want to leave her home alone until i get back from work, is there an after-school day care centre available in melbourne? roughly how much would that cost me? thanks all!

try send her to a school that includes after school care. you will have to most likely pay for it

school usually goes till 3.30 and most schools have an after school program. When looking at schools make sure that the school has one. They are usually open till 6pm . As to cost it can vary, so you will need to ask the school
