About Goulburn Childcare – An Overview
Goulburn Childcare is the trusted local division of Child Care Guide, a national network that helps families find early learning services, understand childcare options, and stay informed about subsidies and programs. If you’ve ever wondered what Goulburn Childcare is, this page explains our purpose, who we are, and how we support families and educators across the Goulburn region.
Our platform connects parents with childcare centres, preschools, family day care services, and outside school hours care (OSHC) throughout Goulburn and the Southern Tablelands. By combining national resources with local expertise, Goulburn Childcare makes it simple for families to find care that suits their needs — while giving providers a platform to share their services with the community.
About Goulburn Childcare – What is Our Mission and Purpose?
The mission of Goulburn Childcare is to ensure every family in Goulburn can easily access reliable, transparent, and up-to-date childcare information. We believe families make better choices when they have clear insight into what’s available — from long day care to family day care, preschools, and after-school programs.
We aim to:
- Help parents compare and contact local childcare services
- Give providers an effective platform to promote their centre’s strengths
- Share regional insights through our Goulburn Childcare Statistics page
- Support the broader early education sector with clear guides on subsidy, curriculum, and regulations
By offering accurate and easy-to-use resources, Goulburn Childcare supports both families looking for care and educators providing it.
About Goulburn Childcare – How Goulburn Childcare Works
The Childcare in Goulburn directory lists approved early learning services across Goulburn and nearby towns including Collector, Crookwell, Gunning, Marulan, Murrumbateman, Tarago, Windellama, and Yass. It’s part of what makes Goulburn Childcare a complete regional hub for parents and carers.
Each upgraded listing on Goulburn Childcare includes:
- Service name, contact details, and location
- Operating hours and program details
- Current vacancies (where provided)
- Links to waitlists and tour bookings

All services are initially listed at no cost. Providers can then claim and manage their own profile using a secure claim code, allowing them to update vacancies, highlight programs, and improve their visibility to local families searching for childcare in Goulburn.
