Supporting parents to return to the CCS
|
With the Early Childhood Education and Care Relief Package coming to an end and the resumption of the CCS on Monday 13 July, it’s important to remind the parents in your service what they need to do to avoid paying full fees.
Families receiving the CCS before 6 April 2020 need to confirm they are still eligible and that their enrolment is current for CCS to start again.
Families who are new to your service and who haven't claimed CCS should apply now to avoid paying full fees from 13 July.

Building stronger teams
|
A torrent of fast-moving changes and workplace upheavals caused by the Coronavirus pandemic has put many early childhood employees under tremendous stress, both personally and professionally. To ensure your team is resilient and in the best possible position post COVID-19 it may be helpful to revisit and revitalize your patterns of team engagement.
Many early childhood staff went above and beyond to offer exemplary support to families during the COVID-19 enforced lockdown, while still managing families and commitments in their own lives. Their situation was complicated by unclear messaging around the legislative requirements for early childhood services, financial concerns, and the practical difficulties of maintaining social distancing when dealing with small children.
