Enrolment

Enrolment

Enrolment is all inclusive at Little Patch Early Learning and your fees include meals, nappies, learning programs, incursions, and excursions. Our team will guide you and your child through the enrolment and orientation process and ensure you are well informed and prepared for commencement.

Our team approach ensures the individual and collective needs of the children are met in a harmonious and friendly environment. By maintaining a consistent and professional team of staff, we facilitate continuity and familiarity for the children and their families.

Offers of enrolment are guided by the Australian Government’s “priority of access” guidelines below:

  • Priority 1– a child at risk of serious abuse or neglect
  • Priority 2– a child of a single parent who satisfies, or of parents who both satisfy, the work, training, study test
  • Priority 3– any other child
We invite you to book a tour or request an enquiry kit so you can learn more about the Little Patch difference.

Fees & Subsidies

The Child Care Subsidy (CCS) is a government subsidy that offers different levels of financial assistance and serves as a fee reduction for families. Little Patch Early Learning charges a daily fee and deducts any eligible childcare subsidy from your account, leaving you with an out of pocket “gap” fee. The gap fee is deducted from your nominated bank account on our fee processing day.

How much subsidy you may receive depends on your individual circumstances.

The three things that determine eligibility are:

  1. Combined family income
  2. The activity level of your family. This includes “recognised activities” including paid work, unpaid work, volunteering, study, self-employment, travel, actively seeking work)
  3. The type of childcare you are utilising (we are Long Day Care)

In order to receive the childcare subsidy, you will be required to have a myGov account linked to Centrelink.
Through myGov you will then be able to complete a Child Care Subsidy assessment task.
