Age Groups

Early Childhood Education & Care qualification.  The Centre is registered by the Queensland Government for an Approved Kindergarten Program undertaken by a Kindergarten Teacher who holds an approved Degree in Early Childhood qualification.

Daily Fees
The Centre is registered for the Federal Government’s Child Care Subsidy for which many parents are eligible. this subsidy is paid to the Centre, therefore, parents need only pay the gap in the weekly fees. The fees payable depends on your Child Care Subsidy, the age of your child and the number of days booked.

Child Care Subsidy assessment can be completed on the myGov website or app several months before attending childcare. If you have not already been assessed, we would strongly recommend that you register for Child Care Subsidy as soon as possible if you are likely to require childcare in the near future. 

Yes, we offer a discount for more days booked in the week. Except for those attending full-time, who are eligible for a weekly discount, we also offer makeup days for public holidays where vacancies are available. We also offer a holiday discount. Please enquire about these offers for further information.
