Join us with your Carer...
Why join our service?
Reap the financial and educational rewards of bringing your own carer to our service. Whether this is a relative (i.e. a grandparent, aunty/uncle, etc) or a friend, babysitter or aupair.
We have discovered that many families have other forms of in-home childcare and they aren't receiving the funding they are entitled to. Through our service you can access non income tested contributions, ECE hours for 3 & 4 year olds and WINZ subsidies.
The educational benefits of belonging to our service include having an early childhood professional visit your home each month to help document your children's learning and development. You will have access to our free playgroups and events, as well as informative newsletters.
So, if you already have someone you know and trust helping care for your children call us and chat about how we can work together.
