You may need care for your child before or after school. Many schools have arrangements with local child care centres for outside school hours care, and there are an increasing number of services on school sites. Services need to be licensed and, where parents wish to receive Child Care Benefit, the service must be accredited under the Australian Government’s Child Care Quality Assurance system. Licensing and accreditation mean that services meet standards for providing quality child care in safe and secure surroundings. Some family day carers also offer out of school hours care - this can be arranged through your local Family Day Care Scheme. |
