- Child Care Subsidy (CCS) -

Little Tikes Early Learning is approved by the Department to receive Child Care Subsidy on behalf of families.

Child Care Subsidy is the main way the Australian Government helps families with child care fees. The amount of Child Care Subsidy a family can get depends on their circumstances and families must first meet eligibility criteria to receive Child Care Subsidy.

The Child Care Subsidy is generally paid directly to service providers to be passed on to families as a fee reduction. Families make a co-contribution to their child care fees and pay to the provider the difference between the fee charged and the subsidy amount.
