Dubbo Early Learning Centre – Fee Information
At Dubbo Early Learning Centre, we understand that the gap fee can be a significant commitment for families. That’s why we work hard to keep our fees affordable. Our daily fee is $138 per day before the Child Care Subsidy (CCS). This fee covers all meals, nappies, and essential care items, ensuring your child is well-cared for throughout the day.
We are proud to be family-owned and independent, which means we don’t have to support a head office or deal with complex corporate structures. This independence allows us to keep our fees on the lower end of town, making quality early education more accessible to our community.
We know that calculating the gap fee after CCS can be confusing, so we’ve prepared tables to help you understand your out-of-pocket costs based on your CCS percentage.
