How to Make your Child Care Rebate Work Harder!

June 23, 2017

Blog post image for Grace Village Early Learning - Make your Child Care Rebater work harder

Your government-funded child care rebate is something you are entitled to. It is there to provide your children with the best quality education possible, from 6 weeks old, until they go to preschool.

As something that every Australian is entitled to, you should ask yourself, “how can I make my child care rebate work harder for my child and I?”. The answer is fairly simple, ensure that you are getting the best child care services available.

The answer is fairly simple: ensure that you are getting the best child care services available.

A child care centre that is offering standard services, standard facilitates and educators that are just there to earn a wage will take the same amount of your rebate as a high quality and full-service centre.

So let’s think about that for a moment, your child could go to a school with custom build facilities, green space, outdoor play areas, top-quality teachers and extracurricular activities.

Alternatively, they could be cared for in someone’s makeshift home daycare centre, with a TV and a few toys.

Both of these options would receive the same amount of government funding from you – the question is, which would you prefer your children to attend?

Your child care rebate is something as a taxpayer, you have paid for, you are entitled to and you should leverage to the best of your abilities.

In order to make your money work harder, you should do a little more research into which child care options are available in your area in and around Western Sydney. Educate yourself on which are best suited to your child’s needs and which will make your child care rebate work harder.

You may have childcare that is close to your home in Western Sydney or The Hills, but is it really the most convenient?

You could consider a child care centre that is closer to your work, allowing you more time to meet your work commitments and not have to rush off through traffic to pick up your child? This may open many additional centres, with more facilities, staff and services that could assist in your child’s development?

This may open many additional centres, with more facilities, staff and services that could assist in your child’s development.

There are a lot of ‘ifs’ here. But if you think that your allocated government child care rebate should work harder for your child, then perhaps it’s time to look at options.

Grace Village, opening in mid-2017, is purpose-built, and will offer a customised experience in the Blacktown/ Sydney Hills districts to provide your child with an enjoyable journey into their education and development. Contact us today to find out more.

    I would help if you had the actual addresses on the website so people can determine exactly where you are and if it possible for them to get to that address!

If I could give more stars, I would! Grace Village is an exceptional centre! Chantel and Ray go out of their way to provide the best quality care from the moment you walk in the door. Both of my... children have attended the centre for the past three years. Both the boys have loved every moment at the centre and have huge smiles when we pick them up. The staff provide interesting and varied activities and are truly dedicated to making every day an enjoyable experience for the children. Sadly we are having to relocate but it is has been very hard to find a centre that compares. We will miss GV!!read more

GV has fantastic facilities including a third space for parents, an art atelier, lovely free-play outdoor spaces, and an epic undercover play area that allows children to be feel as though they are... playing outdoors when the weather doesn’t allow for true outside play. No other centre we have toured has offered play areas like this.We chose GV for our children because of their play-based (Reggio Emilia) philosophy and approach. We love that our little people have been able to be barefoot most of the time, supporting sensory feedback and encouraging their physical and mental development.Everyone at GV shows love for our children as they would their own. GV has been our home away from home, our family and greatest support through some very hard times.Thank you to all the nurturing educators, carers and all of the GV tribe for guiding our young man and little lady through their special formative and most impressionable years.read more

Grace Village Huntingwood is an amazing early learning centre that continuously goes above and beyond to provide exceptional care for all the children and support families with the challenges of... working life. Unfortunately we moved away from this area, but I continued to drive 45 minutes each way to send my daughter here before she started kindergarten. I would highly recommend this centre to anyone looking for above and beyond care for their child/ren. The staff really care about the children and it is an extension of your family life. Thanks to the team for all the amazing care for our children!read more

My child has attended this lovely village for almost 4 years. Awesome learning center as there is always a little bit of extra effort in every single thing that they do. They have amazing and... friendly staff, great facilities and all round activities to ensure that a child develops physically,socially,emotionally and mentally well balanced. In each special occasion they have given us special memories whether in the app, physical souvenirs and lots of memories we’ll look back on when they grow older. My son is now in kindy but he still misses the staff and his friends there. Amazing and highly recommended team !read more

My two children have been with Grace Village from 8months old. Just over 3years later, we are relocating, and finding it hard to find a learning centre that is up to the standard of GV. The entire... team at Grace Village has always given our two children such high quality education, care, and emotional support. Communication was always open and clear. It’s really is a village environment, we are blessed to have been a part of & will miss everyone who made a beautiful impact on our children’s first years of life. Thank you Grace Village!read more
