Planning Your Days
Nomination of Attendance
We are so glad that you have chosen to become part of this flourishing community!
In preparation for 2020, it is important for us to get perspective on the level of access your child needs at the service. Having an accurate understanding of the days you desire your child to be at CURIOSITY, allows us to plan our staffing arrangements to ensure that we are providing the best suitable care for our little friends.
CURIOSITY is registered as a Childcare Facility offering Long Day Care from 7am – 6pm. Child Care Subsidy is available to all families who are Australian Residents and if the child meets immunisation requirements.
Entitlements are determined by an activity test which identifies the number of hours of subsidised care to which families are entitled. Please refer to the following website for current eligibility: https://www.humanservices.gov.au/individuals/services/centrelink/child-care-subsidy
Our CURIOSITY children (3-5 year olds) will attend a minimum of 5 days per fortnight (3 days one week and 2 days the following). We highly encourage our families to access our Long Day Care services and request extra days to support with the development of their child’s social and emotional competencies. Accessing care from one site, supports secure attachment which impacts on child engagement and learning, so we believe this to be an important area you’re your consideration.
