We’ll guide you step by step so your family feels confident from the very beginning. Choosing the right early learning centre is a big decision, and we're here to support you.
Choosing the right early learning centre is essential for your child's future.
We know enrolling your child in care is a big decision, one that comes with questions, hopes, and sometimes a few nerves. At Seaside Explorers, we walk alongside you from the very first conversation to your child’s very first day. Our process is clear and simple, but always flexible to your family’s needs.

Understanding Fees and CCS Support for Your Family's Enrolment
Quality care is an investment in your child’s future, but it shouldn’t feel overwhelming. Our fees are transparent, and we’ll talk you through every detail so there are no surprises.
Many families are eligible for the Child Care Subsidy (CCS), which reduces fees significantly.
Learn more about the subsidy on the Services Australia website.
Use the Centrelink Child Care Subsidy calculator
to estimate your out-of-pocket costs.
Our team will also help you understand your entitlements and guide you through the application process.
A detailed fee schedule is included in our Enrolment Pack.
