Why are parents with infant(s) enrolled in an infant care centre not be eligible for funded childminding services?
Childminding- General enquiry
Parents who have enrolled their infant(s) in an infant care centre will not be eligible for funded childminding services as the Childminding Pilot is intended to provide another infant caregiving option for parents as an alternative to familial care and centre-based care.
As parents of infants enrolled in infant care centres will already receive subsidies for centre-based infant care, they will not be eligible for subsidised childminding services.
