Sessions & Fees.
At Sunkids, we understand that every family is unique, and we’re here to provide childcare and payment solutions that cater to your specific circumstances. Here’s how we make it work for you:
Child Care Sessions.
Flexible Child Care Sessions
To help you make the most of the Child Care Subsidy (CCS), we offer flexible care sessions at all Sunkids Centres. You can choose from 9-hour, 10-hour, or full-day sessions that align with your family’s schedule. There’s no one-size-fits-all approach here. We empower our families to select the session that suits them best.
These flexible sessions allow you to spread your CCS hours across more days, minimizing your out-of-pocket expenses each fortnight.
