At Keiki Tapping OSHC, fees are charged per session rather than per day. This means you will only be billed for the specific sessions your child attends. Session prices are as follows.

• Afternoon session: $47.50

These fees are the full session rates and do not include any discounts you may be eligible for through the Child Care Subsidy (CCS).

The centre features purpose-designed indoor and outdoor learning spaces that reflect the interests and needs of school-aged children. Each group is supported by dedicated educators who are experienced in working with this age range. At Keiki Early Learning, we focus on supporting a smooth transition into formal schooling and creating a place where children feel confident, included and well supported while they’re with us.

All Keiki services are allergy-aware, with strict food safety and nutrition policies in place to keep every child safe and well. If your child has any dietary requirements or allergies that may mean changes are required to their menu, just let your service management team know during orientation so we can ensure the right support is in place.
