Absolutely not! We welcome all community members to Little Saints, even if you will be heading off to other Kindy and Primary School programs when the time comes.
Little Saints Childcare welcomes children from 12 months to 4 years (Pre-Kindergarten age) for long day care.
A 3-Year-Old Kindy program is also offered which is designed to build confidence and inspire your little one. Learn more about 3 Year-Old-Kindy.
1. Join the Waitlist
To secure a place for your child at Little Saints Childcare, it is important to join our waitlist. As part of the waitlist registration, a $70 non-refundable fee will be required to reserve your place. Please note, registering for the waitlist does not guarantee you a place at the Centre as it remains subject to availability.
2. Waitlist Notification:
Little Saints Childcare will contact families on the waitlist to offer an invitation for enrolment for your child, where places become available.
3. Confirmation of Enrolment:
If you receive an invitation and are interested in confirming your child's place, you will be required to complete a full enrolment form. Alongside this, you will need to pay fees for the first two weeks in advance to secure your child's place in our childcare program.
Little Saints Childcare offers long day care from 7.00am to 6.00pm Monday to Friday.
Yes, we will have a two-day minimum for enrolment. This aligns with our Primary Carer Model allowing children to transition well and to develop responsive, consistent and secure relationships with their educators.
We follow the Australian Government’s priority of access guidelines first, followed by our own priority enrolment order, which includes factors such as staff children, siblings of current students, Old Saints and date of application.
Our Day Rate is $182.50 per day, inclusive of any Child Care Subsidy (CCS) that may apply. Plus, meals and consumables are on us (excluding nappies) and are included in this fee, which is payable fortnightly in advance based on the number of days per week your little one will be joining us.
Due to high demand, we cannot guarantee a start date. Wait times vary depending on vacancies and your application’s priority level. Where there are no immediate vacancies in our most in-demand rooms, some families may be required to be on the waiting list for up to 12 months until a position becomes available.
If anything changes—like your preferred start date or the days you’d like your child to attend—just let us know. We’re always happy to keep your application up to date!
Yes, the CCS will be available to those families who qualify. To find out more information or to check if your family qualify for CCS, please follow the link here Who can get Child Care Subsidy - Child Care Subsidy - Services Australia
We usually reach out to families who are next in line for a potential offer to confirm that all their details are up to date. Once a position becomes available, we’ll contact you again with an official offer. You will also receive a Termly Update from us keeping you connected to all the magic of Little Saints.
Little Saints Childcare has a play-based approach to learning in line with the Early Years Learning Framework. It is through intentional play that creativity and curiosity is encouraged, and social and emotional skills developed. There is a strong commitment to nature pedagogy linking to the on campus bush school.
Our primary carer model philosophy means that your little one’s learning program will continuously evolve through their educator's personalised observation and engagement.
At Little Saints our personalised learning program greatly values the involvement of parents and guardians. We value their voice and input knowing that they know their child best, whilst also acknowledging that they can be great partners as we work towards creating a safe and positive learning environment for all at Little Saints. We value face-to-face connection with our parents and aim to build strong connections. We maintain consistent communication via our Little Saints app and ensure regular engagement opportunities, allowing parents and guardians to become integral partners in their child’s Little Saints journey.
Our educators will hold relevant qualifications in Early Childhood Education, regularly undergo additional training, and have the necessary certifications in first aid and child safety. We maintain a continuous learning program to ensure all staff are kept up to date on dietary, allergenic, cultural, and medical needs of our centre community.

While we are still settling into our new home, please contact us to arrange a potential visit.
When you are offered an enrolment place, we will ask you to confirm your enrolment via payment of a non-refundable Acceptance Fee, equivalent to two full days (currently $365). But don’t worry, this fee will be applied as a credit to your account once your little explorer commences.
Children who have attended Little Saints will receive preferential enrolment priority compared to children who have not attended Little Saints and do not have any prior connections with the College, however, it does not guarantee enrolment with offers made according to the College's enrolment policy and date of applications.
