If you’re a family looking for a new home that’s close to childcare options, there’s now a clever way to quickly narrow your options.

Australian childcare finder app KindiCare has partnered with property marketplace Domain, so users of both apps can see childcare options next to property listings.

Domain users are now able to view local childcare centres alongside sales and rental property listings, via the school catchment zone section. The childcare listings will also include KindiCare’s unique rating system, so parents can weigh up costs, quality and value for money.

KindiCare app users are also able to see properties for sale or rent from Domain in their local area, by searching through the property carousel.

So whether you’re in the market for a new home, or new childcare, both apps are making life a whole lot easier.

“If you look at findings from our latest School Zones Report, some school catchment zones are achieving 10 to 20 per cent more house price growth than the suburb they are located in, showing certain school catchment zones’ are in higher demand and commanding a premium price compared to properties outside of the zone,” explained Domain CEO Jason Pellegrino.

“It really demonstrates the importance education has on a property decision for families which can often lead to a lifestyle decision to move or purchase a property as a family’s needs change.”

KindiCare founder and CEO, Benjamin Balk added, “The two-way partnership with Domain will provide a better experience for Australian families on both Domain and KindiCare, as they will have full visibility over the quality, value for money and cost of their childcare options in any suburb across the country no matter where their early learning or property search journey begins.”
