A simple beginning
to your Lakeview journey.
Choosing care is a big decision. We want the process of joining Lakeview to feel clear, personal and welcoming from your very first enquiry.
Four simple steps
to joining Lakeview.
Enquire
Tell us a little about your child, the days you are looking for and your preferred starting date.
Visit Lakeview
Come and experience Lakeview for yourself. Meet our team, explore our environments and ask any questions you may have.
Offer & enrolment
If we have a suitable vacancy, we'll confirm your proposed days and start date and guide you through the enrolment process.
Orientation
Before your child begins, we welcome you back for orientation so they can become familiar with their educators, room and new environment.
Understanding
your childcare costs.
Lakeview is an approved childcare service and eligible families may receive the Australian Government Child Care Subsidy (CCS), which can significantly reduce the amount paid for care.
CCS is generally paid directly to Lakeview and applied to your account, with families paying the remaining gap fee. Our team is happy to help families understand the enrolment and CCS process.
Clear information, without the confusion.
Our team can provide current daily fees and help you understand how Child Care Subsidy may apply to your family.
We are happy to talk through your estimated out-of-pocket cost before you make any decisions about enrolment.
We'll guide you
through the details.
Once a position is offered, we'll guide you through everything required to complete your child's enrolment.
This includes your child's enrolment information, emergency and authorised contacts, immunisation information and any relevant medical, dietary, additional needs or parenting documentation.
We'll let you know exactly what is required so everything is ready before your child's first day.
Every child is known
from the beginning.
Enrolment is our first opportunity to begin getting to know your child.
We invite families to share their child's interests, strengths, routines, culture, language, individual needs and the things that help them feel safe and secure.
This helps our educators begin building a relationship with your child before their first day.
What matters to
your family matters to us.
Familiar routines, favourite comforts, important relationships and the little things that make your child who they are all help us create a more personal beginning at Lakeview.
Settling in,
together.
Starting preschool or childcare can bring big feelings for children and parents.
During orientation you'll meet your child's educators, become familiar with their room and routine, learn how we communicate through OWNA and have the opportunity to talk with us about your child's individual needs.
On those first days, you're welcome to take the time your child needs to settle. You can speak with their educators or contact us during the day to see how they're going.
