When it comes to early childhood education and care, planning ahead is more than just a good idea — it’s a strategic step that can set your family up for success. If you’re considering enrolling your child in childcare for 2026, now is the ideal time to start the process.
Experience Guardian’s Quality Learning Programs
At Guardian, we are proud to offer leading learning programs that support every stage of your child’s development. From our personalised To BE Me curriculum to our two-year Flying Start to School preschool and kindergarten program, we focus on learning, safety, and wellbeing.
Families choose Guardian centres for our commitment to quality care and education, and early enrolment ensures your child can benefit from these exceptional programs.
More Time for a Smooth Transition
Starting early means your child has more time to adjust to their new environment. By securing a spot now, you’ll have the opportunity to plan tours and participate in regular stay-and-play sessions at your centre of choice. These visits allow your child to become familiar with their surroundings, meet educators, and build confidence before their first official day. A gradual introduction to care can make the transition smoother for both your child and your family, reducing nerves and setting up a positive experience.
Plan Your Budget with Greater Confidence
Early enrolment also gives families the chance to prepare financially. With more time on your side, you can apply for the Child Care Subsidy (CCS) and explore Preschool and Kindergarten funding options. Understanding how to maximise these entitlements can help you budget effectively, ensuring you can afford the number of care days that best suit your child’s needs. By planning ahead, you can make informed decisions that align with your financial goals while giving your child access to high-quality care.
Secure a Space Where Your Child Will Feel at Home
Demand for quality childcare is high, and spaces at in-demand centres often fill up quickly. By acting now, you increase your chances of securing your childcare centre of choice, as well as your preferred days of care. Waiting too long could mean missing out on a centre that fits your budget and expectations, leaving you with fewer options or more expensive alternatives. Enrolling early gives your family peace of mind and flexibility.
Act Now to Start Strong
The earlier you enrol, the better positioned you are to give your child a strong start in their learning journey. Don’t wait until spots are limited or funding options become more challenging to navigate. By enrolling now for 2026, you’re ensuring your child’s place in a high-quality program that aligns with your family’s needs.
