Starting childcare is an important milestone for families. At Village Early Learning, we make the enrolment process simple and straightforward, guiding you through each step from your first tour to your child’s first day.
Your journey begins with a personalised tour at your preferred Village Early Learning centre.
During your visit, you can:
Following your tour, you will receive our Family Handbook and information to begin the enrolment process.
Once a place becomes available, we will confirm your child’s start date, booked sessions and orientation options. If your preferred days or centre are unavailable, your family may be added to our waitlist.
Our online enrolment process collects key information to help us provide safe and personalised care, including:
A $50 enrolment fee applies once your child’s place has been accepted.
Eligible families can apply for the Child Care Subsidy (CCS) through myGov before their child begins care.
You will need:
You’ll sign a Complying Written Arrangement (CWA) with us through Kidsoft, then confirm your child’s enrolment in your Centrelink account via myGov before CCS can apply. Our team can guide you through both steps if needed.
For more information about CCS eligibility, entitlements and how subsidies work, visit our Child Care Subsidy (CCS) page or use the CCS Calculator to estimate your family’s potential subsidy.
Orientation gives children the opportunity to become familiar with their learning environment, educators and daily routines before their first day.
Every child settles differently, and our educators work with families to understand their routines, interests and needs.
