For Our Families

Family support in early learning at Gardenia Early Learning. 

We understand the importance of family. We believe that every child’s journey is enriched when families are actively involved and engaged in their child’s learning and development.

Our centre is not just a place for children; it’s a community where families come together to support and nurture each other.

Partners in Learning

We view families as partners in their child’s learning journey. We collaborate closely with families to understand each child’s unique needs, strengths, and interests, ensuring that our programs support their growth and development.

Family Involvement

We encourage families to participate in various aspects of our center, including joining us for special events and celebrations. We believe that when families actively engage, children feel supported and motivated to excel.

Resources and Support

We provide resources, workshops, and support services to empower families in their parenting journey. In addition, whether it’s tips for fostering early literacy skills or guidance on navigating challenging behaviors, we’re here to assist families at every stage and in every way.

Community Building

We foster a sense of community among our families through regular family events, parent networking opportunities, and parent support groups. Furthermore, we believe that by connecting families, we create a strong support system that benefits both children as well as their families.

Child Care Subsidy

All Gardenia Early Learning centres are approved child care services, and therefore, all eligible families are able to claim the child care subsidy.

Additionally, upon enrolment, our friendly staff will work closely with families to ensure that all required information has been provided to Services Australia, so that the child care subsidy claim can be processed each week.

For more information and to see if you are eligible to claim this child care subsidy please either:
visit the Services Australia website – Child Care Subsidy – Services Australia; or
call the Family Assistance Office at 13 61 50.

You need to do a recognised activity to be eligible for the Child Care Subsidy. Recognised activities can include a number of different activities, not just paid work. You can find more details about what is included here.
