At Wonder Years, we believe that every child is unique and deserves the best possible start in life. Our experienced and qualified team of educators is dedicated to providing a play-based learning approach that is tailored to meet the needs of each individual child. Our curriculum is designed to encourage children to explore, discover and develop their skills through a range of activities, including art and music education, outdoor play, and technology.
We believe in the importance of positive discipline and promoting children's social and emotional development. Our team is trained in positive behaviour management techniques, and we encourage children to develop a positive self-image and a sense of self-worth.
Please contact us and our team will be happy to assist you on the specifics of fees. You can reach us 9484 2595 or info@wonderyears.com.au
Billing is conducted every fortnight for two weeks in advance. At enrolment, you will supply direct debit details. You can change/update your billing details anytime.
What is not included in the fees
OWNA is our families communication app. Once your child enrols in our centre, you will be invited to download the OWNA app and set up your profile. In OWNA, you will receive daily updates and photos and be able to communicate directly with your child’s educators.
The Child Care Subsidy is assistance from the Federal Government to help with the cost of child care.
You can apply for CCS through Centrelink.
If you do not have your child’s Customer Reference Number (CRN), you need to contact Centrelink to update your family status and add your child.
If you already have your child's Customer Reference Number (CRN), you can submit a claim online through the MyGov portal. Once your claim is approved, the CRN you provided us on the enrolment form will automatically update our system with your entitlements.
The government pays Wonder Years directly, and you are responsible for the gap fee.
E.g If daily fees are $120 a day, and your CCS entitlement is 50%, the government pays us $60 a day, and you will only be billed for $60.
Centrelink is constantly adjusting entitlements based on your circumstances, which means that your entitlements might change week to week. To find out more information about CCS and eligibility, go to the Child Care Subsidy Information page on Services Australia or contact the Centrelink Families Line on 136 150
Yes, you can! Wonder Years is an approved Child Care Service. Once you have an approved claim with Centrelink, you will just provide your and your child’s CRN in your enrolment form.
To enrol your child at Wonder Years Early Learning Centres, complete the online enrolment form and upload the required documentation.
We also have copies of the enrolment forms available at the centre, which you can complete in person after a tour.
Our enrolments team will review and reach out to confirm your child’s spot. Once approved, you will need to pay the refundable bond of 2 weeks' fees and the non-refundable enrolment fee.
We also ask all new families to complete a “Getting To Know You” Form, which allows our educators to get to know your child before their start date so we can ensure a smooth transition.
The minimum enrolment is two days per week. A minimum of two days is critical for routine building by allowing children to settle and form attachments with educators and their peers.
Once a child turns 4, we recommend at least four days to help prepare them for the routine of school and build friendships that will instill confidence and teamwork skills.
