Choosing a childcare centre is about more than finding care that fits your week. It is also about finding a centre that offers practical value for your family.
Stride families can also access swimming lessons through our preferred swimming provider, State Swim.
For eligible Stride families, State Swim lessons are included at no extra cost.
Supporting Water Confidence From an Early Age
For Western Australian families, time around pools, beaches and waterways is often part of everyday life.
Swimming lessons give children the opportunity to become more comfortable in the water while developing confidence, listening skills and practical water safety awareness.
With regular support from qualified State Swim instructors, children can learn at a pace suited to their age, ability and confidence.
More Value Built Into Childcare
Parents searching for childcare with extras included are often looking for genuine value.
They want a centre that supports their child beyond the basics without adding more pressure to the family budget.
The State Swim partnership sits alongside other Stride inclusions, including play-based learning, enrichment programs, meals, nappies and on-site allied health support.
These extras reflect our belief that families should receive more than care alone. They should feel supported by a childcare provider that understands the cost, time and organisation involved in raising young children.
How the State Swim Inclusion Works
Eligible families receive an allocation of lessons based on their child’s recurring Stride booking.
Once eligibility is confirmed, families arrange their lesson location and time directly with State Swim. Lessons take place at participating State Swim locations and are attended by the child with their parent or carer.
Stride covers the eligible lesson fee. Families are responsible for transport, attendance, swimwear and any personal items required for the lesson.
Class times and locations remain subject to State Swim availability and program conditions.
Childcare With More Already Included
Swimming lessons are one more way Stride supports children and families beyond the everyday childcare routine.
They give children the opportunity to build confidence in the water and give parents access to a valuable childhood activity without the additional lesson fee.
When you choose Stride, you are choosing childcare with trusted educators, meaningful learning and practical extras already included.
Because they matter, and so does how they grow.
