**Please
note – we will not be doing half days for any new parents, or for parents that
have not had a Half Day booking previously.
These
timings need to be adhered too as now with our digital sign in; if you come
outside of these times and are time stamped in you may be charged Full Day
fees.
The Half Day
fee schedule is as follows:
AM Session:
6:30AM – 12:30PM
PM Session:
12:30Pm – 6:30PM
We would
like to take this opportunity to explain our fee increase to you.
Our
suppliers have also been increasing their own prices. These products directly
impact the children’s care within the centre for products such as food,
nappies, cleaning supplies and toys/experiences.
At Hawthorn
Child Care Centre we endeavour to offer high quality care. We are always looking
at our practises and constantly improving them further, and we welcome parent
feedback to do this.
At the
moment 80 per cent of our staff has their Diplomas in Children Services and 3
qualified or actively studying their Bachelor of Early Childhood Education. The
other staffs are currently up skilling to improve their qualifications to
provide better educational outcomes for your children.
In line with
the new government ratios changes (1-10
is now going to 1-5), we are aiming to phase in the new ratios of educator
to children towards the end of the year. This will provide exceptional quality
care to children across our centre.
We have
always been very fortunate to find high quality staff and retain them which in
the industry is becoming harder and harder.
We would
also like to give our families advanced notice that we will be reassessing the
fee structure again for July 2016. Because of the Government changes to the
childcare sector our running costs are increasing, however we did not want to
raise our costs with one large increase. The final figure has yet to be
determined but you will be given notice well before the end of the year of any
changes.
After doing
our own research we have discovered that we are still one of the cheaper
Centre’s in the area and we endeavour to remain so.
We thank you
for your support you have given our centre.
