Rothwell Hours of Operation
We are open 12 hours per day, 52 weeks per year, so if parents have work commitments, they will have the flexibility over the start and finish of each day without having to make alternative care arrangements for their child. Parents also have the flexibility of more days should you require a casual booking.
Age Groups
We cater for children from birth to kindergarten.
Lead Educators in the groups hold an approved Diploma of Children’s Services qualification and where required are assisted by Educators who hold an approved Certificate III in Children’s Services 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 will provide the Federal Government’s “Child Care Subsidy” for which many parents will be eligible for to reduce their weekly fees. The fees payable will then depend on the Child Care Subsidy, the number of days booked and the group in which a child is enrolled. Applications for Child Care Subsidy should be made with Centrelink on 13 61 50.
If you have not already been assessed, we would strongly recommend that you contact Centrelink as soon as possible if you are likely to require childcare in the near future. Please contact us / call Miss Angie at our centre for further details. Please contact us / call Miss Angie at our centre for further details.
