What Our Community is Saying
Common Questions From Local Families
Everything you need to know before making a decision.
What does it actually cost?
Long Day Care is $147.75 per day, all-inclusive, before your Childcare Subsidy (CCS) is applied. Most families pay significantly less once CCS is factored in. Free Kinder is available at no cost for eligible 3 and 4-year-olds. Integrated Care combines both – your kinder sessions are free, and you pay the daily fee only for the additional hours you need.
How do I know which program is right for my child?
Call us on (03) 5292 1160 and we’ll talk it through with you. It usually comes down to your child’s age and your weekly schedule – we’ll help you find the right fit quickly. You can also book a tour to come in and see the centre before deciding.
Can I visit before enrolling?
Absolutely. We encourage every family to come in, see the centre, meet the educators, and get a feel for the environment before making a decision. Use the form below to book a tour and we’ll organise a time that suits you.
What if my child needs extra support?
bestchance also offers Children’s Therapy Services – including speech pathology, occupational therapy and psychology. If your child needs additional support at any stage, we can help connect you with the right service. This is one of the real advantages of being part of the bestchance family.
How do I get the 10% discount?
All families enrolling in a 5-day-per-week, permanent booking will receive the 10% discount. Contact us today to save up to $73.80 per week with our all-inclusive program!
