“To Four Amazing Ladies! I cannot thank you all enough for taking great care of Kyla. She has loved coming here each week. You have given Kyla everything that she is missing not having family around us – love, comfort, friendship and laughter.” – Kim, Kayla’s Mum

“We have used Balwyn Occasional Care for the last 5 and a half years and now class them as family. All the ladies who work there give 110% to the children in their care and I am completely confident of their care when I leave them. I can’t recommend the centre highly enough and it is with a heavy heart we leave this year.” – Fiona Zeine

HOW TO PAY

Please note that bookings are essential for all childcare sessions. Childcare is available for children aged from 6 weeks up to school-age for up to 30 hours per week. Childcare is offered 40 weeks per year, following school terms. Bookings are made on a term basis, although we offer casual spots if a place is available. See our child care handbook for policies and other relevant information. A limited school holiday program is available during some of the term breaks. Please note childcare is not provided on public holidays. For children with ongoing bookings, a 2 week paid notice period is required when withdrawing child from our service.

Child Care Subsidy 

Balwyn Community Centre is CSS approved. The childcare subsidy is a means tested benefit based on your family’s combined income and fortnightly activities such as work, study or volunteering. You can access more information about the Child Care Subsidy and how to apply for it here. Please note that the way we process rebates has changed. Parents will now only pay the gap fee.
