Enrolment
Enrolling your child at Creative Learning Preschool and Childcare Centre is easy, just follow these simple steps:
1. Book a Tour
Prior to Creative Learning Childcare enrolment, we highly recommend that you arrange with the director to come in for a tour. Throughout the tour we welcome you to ask any questions that you might have to help you decide if we are the right service for your child and family.
2. Join the Waitlist
After your tour, you will be invited to place your child on our waitlist. This shows that you are interested in enrolling your child, and further information will be emailed to you including our Family Handbook and enrolment instructions.
3. Enrolment
When a placement becomes available, you will be asked to fill in the online enrolment forms and provide the required documentation, including:
Your child’s birth certificate or passport
The child and the primary carers’ CRN (Customer Reference Number) for CCS (Child Care Subsidy)
AIR Immunisation History Statement (via MyGov or Medicare)
Emergency contact details, including photo ID
Any medical information (allergies, special requirements)
To confirm your place at our service, you will be required to pay a fully refundable (*security deposit is refundable after child/ren enrolled has attended the service for a minimum of 5 weeks) security deposit of $200.
You will receive written confirmation of your child’s placement with us after all required documents and the security deposit have been received.
4. Orientation
Once you have received written confirmation of enrolment acceptance, we invite you to bring your child in for at least 1 orientation session at our service. During your child’s orientation, we encourage you to spend time with the educators and to ask any questions that you may have. Orientation provides your child with an opportunity to become familiar with their new learning environment, new educators, and their new peers.
We will also send you an email with information on completing the CWA (Complying Written Agreement, required for receiving CCS) and DDR (Direct Debit Request, required for fee payment) forms, information on settling children into care, and a reminder of what to bring.
5. The First Day
On your child’s first official day, we will show you how to sign your child in and out of our service and where children can store their belongings (bag, hat, drink bottle).
We will help you and your child say goodbye, and help your child settle into care. We will keep you updated throughout the day, but you are welcome to call, email, or message us (using our parent communication app, OWNA) at any time.
