For Families
3 Day Childcare Guarantee for Families Enrolling in 2026
From 5 January 2026, updates to the Australian Government’s Child Care Subsidy (CCS) will make it easier for families to access affordable early learning. Through the 3 Day Childcare Guarantee, families who are eligible for CCS may be able to receive subsidised care for up to 72 hours per fortnight, supporting consistent attendance and giving children more time to learn, play and build confidence in a familiar environment.
At Daisy’s Early Learning & Care, CCS is applied directly to your childcare fees, reducing the amount you pay out of pocket. The level of subsidy varies for each family and our team is here to help you understand how it works, discuss enrolment options for 2026 and support a smooth start into care for your child.
Child Care Subsidy eligibility and entitlements are assessed by Services Australia and may vary for each family.
Our families Come First
At Daisy’s Early Learning and Care, families are central to everything we do, and we value the trust you place in us. We believe the strongest outcomes for children happen when educators and families work side by side, sharing insights, goals and a genuine commitment to each child’s growth.
From your very first visit to our centre in Southern River, we’ll take the time to understand your child’s needs, your family values and what matters most to you. Whether it’s cultural traditions, learning goals or daily routines, we build real relationships based on respect, communication and care.
We view parents and carers as the first teachers. We keep communication open and ongoing, through daily conversations, regular updates and shared reflections on your child’s growth.
You’ll see learning stories, photo reflections and project updates, giving you a clear view into what your child is exploring and achieving. It’s more than a record, it’s a shared journey you can be part of every day.
From orientation to settling in and beyond, we adapt to your child’s pace and your family’s needs. We offer support for everything from daily transitions to health and nutrition, and we’ll always check in to make sure you feel confident and reassured.
We welcome diverse cultures, languages, family structures and learning styles. If your child has specific needs, whether developmental, cultural or dietary, we’ll work closely with you to create the right plan.
Families choose Daisy’s because they’re looking for more than just a safe place to drop off their child. They want a centre where children are known, nurtured and given every opportunity to flourish, and that’s exactly what Daisy’s was founded on.
We offer healthy, nourishing meals that support children’s growth, energy and development. Our menu introduces a variety of flavours and textures, encouraging children to enjoy nutritious food and learn about making healthy choices.
Every week, we create a balanced menu that caters to all children and team members, keeping mealtimes fresh and enjoyable. Take a look at this week’s menu here.
