We believe that education is an aid to life. We are dedicated to guiding the development of each child. We support the development of social, intellectual and ethical independence by providing an environment that is respectful, enriching and challenging. We value and promote self-directed learning with an emphasis on developing time management, organisation, negotiation and decision-making skills. We value our dedicated, capable staff and support collaborative practices, reflection and growth. We value working with our parents in the education of their child.
We place significant value on the role the environment plays in the development of the child. Our indoor and outdoor environments are prepared to nurture a child’s love of learning and natural tendency to work.

PARENT INFORMATION
Transitioning to the new Child Care Subsidy
From 2 July 2018, one new Child Care Subsidy will replace the two current child care payments. This transition cannot happen automatically.
To transition, you will need to complete an online Child Care Subsidy assessment using your Centrelink online account through myGov.
You will be asked to provide some new information and confirm your current details, including:
Combined family income
Activity level of parents
Type of child care service
If families do not complete their assessment before 2 July 2018, they may not receive any child care fee assistance.
Child Care Subsidy
The Package includes a new Child Care Subsidy, which replaces the current Child Care Benefit and Child Care Rebate. The Child Care Subsidy will be paid directly to services.
There are also changes to the annual cap which will make child care more affordable for most families.
Three things will determine a family’s level of Child Care Subsidy:
A family’s income will determine the percentage of subsidy they are eligible for
An activity test will determine how many hours of subsidised care families can access, up to a maximum of 100 per fortnight, and
The type of child care service will determine the hourly rate cap.
More information about individual subsidy rates and annual cap changes is available in the New Child Care Package brochure.
Some basic requirements must be satisfied for an individual to be eligible to receive Child Care Subsidy for a child. These include:
the age of the child (must be 13 or under and not attending secondary school)
the child meeting immunisation requirements
the individual, or their partner, meeting the residency requirements.
Using myGov
Step 1. Sign in to your myGov account. If you don’t have one, you will need to create a myGov account.
Step 2. Link myGov to Centrelink. You can do this under Services.
Step 3. Select Centrelink and complete the Child Care Subsidy Assessment.
