Ararat Rural City is gathering information from local families who use childcare services in the municipality as well as those who do not.

We want to hear your experience of childcare services in the municipality as this will help us work with the existing sector and plan for the future.

Early years of children’s lives are a priority for Ararat Rural City Council. We recognise the importance of play-based learning and acknowledge the role early education providers play in providing vital social interaction for children and support for carers.
