Apply for an early childhood education and care place at the latest four months before you wish to place your child in care.
Care may be given to a child who has not reached the age of compulsory education.
Early childhood education and care may also be given to a child who has already reached the age of compulsory education if special circumstances so require and care cannot be otherwise arranged.
In addition to a day-care centre, you can apply for an early childhood education and care place in family day care for your child. Family day care is early childhood education and care provided in the carer’s or the child’s home.
A family day-carer may care for at most four children under school age in full time and for one child of pre-primary or basic education age part time. The carer’s own under school age children are included in this number. An early childhood education plan is drawn up for each child in family day care.
