Child Care Subsidy and Fees
Many families across Queensland are eligible for the Australian Government’s Child Care Subsidy (CCS), which reduces out-of-pocket childcare costs.
Explore our Family Guide to CCS, estimate your costs using our CCS Calculator, or read our guide on how to make the most of childcare rebates.
Families with preschool-aged children may also be eligible for the Queensland Government’s Free Kindy program. This can provide funded kindy hours for children in the years before school and further reduce fees.
Guardian’s Approach to Early Learning
At every Queensland Guardian centre, our educators create learning experiences based on your child’s interests and stage of development. Our To BE Me program is a unique approach to early learning that grows with your child from the nursery room through to kindy.
Our Nutrition for Life program supports children to build healthy habits for life. Fresh, balanced meals and snacks are prepared onsite daily by our professional Chefs and Cooks. Children are encouraged to explore new flavours and enjoy positive mealtime experiences that fuel growing bodies and minds.
Preparing Your Child for School
Children aged 3–5 take part in our Flying Start to School kindy program, designed specifically to lay the foundations for a confident start to school.
Flying Start to School aligns with the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF), supporting the literacy, numeracy and communication skills that your child needs to flourish in school and beyond.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do Free Kindy and the Child Care Subsidy work together? 
The federal Child Care Subsidy (CCS) reduces out-of-pocket childcare costs for most families based on income, recognised participation and hours of care. Free Kindy is a separate Queensland Government program that provides additional fee relief for eligible children in the years before school. Guardian centres across Queensland participate in Free Kindy, so eligible families often benefit from both programs. Contact our team to find out what your family may be entitled to.
What is the Early Years Learning Framework?
The Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF) is the curriculum used in all early childhood education and care services across Australia, including Queensland childcare centres. It outlines the principles, practices and outcomes that support children’s learning from birth to five, including their transition into school. Guardian’s To BE Me and Flying Start to School programs are based on the EYLF to ensure every child’s development aligns with this framework.
