We’re excited to share news that will make early learning more accessible and affordable for families across Australia. From January 2026, the Australian Government will introduce a 3 Day Guarantee of subsidised early childhood education and care, giving all CCS eligible families access to at least 72 hours of subsidised care per fortnight.
At Kids Club Early Childhood Learning Centres, we believe every child deserves access to a high-quality early learning environment. This new subsidy is a significant step forward in removing financial barriers and ensuring more families can access the care and education their children need to thrive.
From 2026, families will benefit from:
This policy change recognises that early learning is about more than just care, it’s where lifelong learning begins. With more children attending regularly, they’ll benefit from Kids Club’s enriching play-based curriculum, highly skilled Educators and safe, nurturing environments.
Kids Club is committed to ensuring that every family continues to receive personalised support and that every child experiences the very best start in life.
We encourage families to begin planning ahead by securing a place for 2026. Our Centre Directors and Customer Support Team are here to guide you through the process, answer your questions and help you make the best decision for your child.
We will continue to share updates as more information becomes available from the Government. To read the full announcement, visit the official Government website. For questions about enrolments or what this means for your family, reach out to our team via phone on 1300 154 372 or visit your nearest Kids Club centre.
At Kids Club, we believe that when children are supported from the start, there’s no limit to what they can achieve. We look forward to welcoming more families into our village and continuing to provide the very best in early education and care.
