So Much To Offer The Children
With years of experience guiding us, we’ve thoughtfully incorporated additional features into our brand-new, purpose-built facility at Parafield Airport to enrich each child’s learning experience. These include a custom-designed sensory room, a dedicated allied health room, and a unique outdoor sports court. Our sports court comes with its own tailored curriculum, embedded into the daily routines of each room, supporting the development of children’s motor skills, coordination, and overall physical wellbeing.
What Do You Charge?
At Parafield Airport Early Learning Centre, our daily fee is $155 per day. Families who are eligible may receive the Child Care Subsidy (CCS), which may significantly reduce out-of-pocket costs. If you are new to the Childcare Subsidy, you can learn more from the Services Australia website here.
To be eligible, families must meet government criteria such as residency and activity requirements. You can use the link below to access the OWNA CCS Calculator.

We pride ourselves on offering more than just care – we offer a community where children thrive and families feel supported.
About Making Payments
We do not require an application or waitlist fee, making the process straightforward for you. Just simply finish the enrolment process and when a place is available it is automatically allocated to your family.
We use OWNA to manage payments, allowing us to set up your account for payments, which is filled out by you during the enrolment stage. As part of our payment policy, we will always do our best to contact you regarding any changes in payment requirements. We of course will always look into any changes that become evident and assist you to find the cause of the change.
You also have the option to manage payments via bank transfer with one off payments. The final out of pocket cost for families will depend on the Child Care Subsidy (CCS) rebate you are entitled to.
