Kids' Early Learning is providing quality care and support for primary school families in Blacktown through our before and after school care program, which is also known as OSHC (outside of school hours care). Led by qualified educators, we foster a nurturing environment that enhances children's mental, physical, and social development.

Our fees

 

Our Kids' Early Learning OSHC fees vary depending on each family's eligibility for the Child Care Subsidy (CCS). The CCS is a government initiative that helps reduce out-of-pocket expenses for families based on factors such as income, activity levels, and the type of care required. To get a better understanding of what your family’s OSHC fees will look like after the CCS is applied, we recommend visiting the Centrelink website or reaching out to our team for assistance.
