L’Atelier for Children is open from 8:00am to 4:00pm, Monday to Friday.
We welcome children for drop-off between 8:00am and 9:20am, and our daily program concludes at 3:20pm. Families are invited to collect their children anytime between 3:20pm and 4:00pm.
Pricing
Our fee for 2026 is $157/day or $1884/quarter plus a $135 registration fee (calculated on attending 1 day a week and prior to CCS). L’Atelier is an approved Preschool for the provision of the Childcare Benefit.
Childcare Subsidy
The Child Care Subsidy (CCS) is an Australian Government payment that helps families with the cost of approved early childhood education and care. The amount you receive is means-tested against your combined family income and is paid directly to your child care service to reduce your fees.
From January 2026, changes to the CCS will ensure eligible families receive a guaranteed minimum of three days (72 hours) of subsidised care per fortnight, regardless of work or study hours. You may be eligible for more subsidised hours if you work, study, volunteer or meet other recognised activity requirements.
To access the subsidy:
Register or log in to your myGov account and link it to Centrelink.
Claim the Child Care Subsidy and provide details such as your estimated combined family income, your child’s enrolment details, and any recognised activities that may increase your entitlement.
Once your eligibility is assessed, CCS is usually paid directly to your child care provider, reducing the fees you pay.
If you’re unsure about eligibility, contact Centrelink on 13 61 50 or talk to L’Atelier for Children’s Centre Director on 9245 5243 for support.
