For many families, understanding the cost of early education can feel like one of the most important parts of the enrolment journey.
Between daily fees, Child Care Subsidy (CCS) entitlements and individual family circumstances, it is not always easy to know what care may cost before enrolling your child.
To help make this process easier, St Nicholas has introduced a new Child Care Subsidy Calculator on our website.
The new online tool has been designed to help prospective and existing families estimate their out-of-pocket costs for early education at St Nicholas, based on their individual circumstances.
Families can enter details including their household income, activity hours, and the number of children they have in care to receive an estimated subsidy and daily out-of-pocket cost.
While the calculator provides an estimate only, it gives families a helpful starting point when considering early education options and planning for care.
The introduction of the Child Care Subsidy Calculator reflects St Nicholas’ ongoing commitment to supporting families with clear, accessible, and helpful information as they explore early education and care options.
At St Nicholas, we know every family’s situation is different. This tool is one more way we are helping families feel informed, confident, and supported when making decisions about their child’s early education.
