什麽是全日托兒 ?
全日托兒中心爲0到6歲的兒童提供託管和教育。 各中心需要每天開放至少八小時，大多數開放時間是從上午7.30直到下午6.00, 星期一到星期五。
各中心是由社區服務部(DOCS)發給營運執照。 這些執照要求經營者符合一定的保育標準, 包括中心可以提供的托兒數目, 員工人數, 面積要求, 安全事務和員工資曆。
全日托兒中心要求雇用合資格的員工。 合格員工的人數與該中心入託的兒童人數和年齡成一定比例。 合資格的員工可能包括：兒童早期教學 /教育學士, 兒童早期教育專科文憑和母親技藝護士(Mother Craft Nurses)。
該執照也確保托兒中心具有書面的教育計劃, 所有入託的兒童得到均衡的室內與室外活動。
教育計劃考慮了關鍵的學習領域。 這些領域包括，社交和情緒的發展，語言發展，體能的發展、創造力和智力發展。 員工對每個孩子的發展過程保持記錄，家長可以查看這些記錄。
許多全日托兒中心爲兒童提供營養的餐食，包括早上和下午茶、飲料和午餐，這些是包括在每天的收費中。 所以最好與托兒中心確認他們的收費包括什麽。
每一個全日托兒中心的收費不同。 然而入託這些中心都可能得到托兒福利金(CCB)。
進入全日托兒中心可能是困難的。 建議你預先訪問你希望孩子入託的全日托兒中心, 把你的孩子列入輪候名單上(可能要收費)。
全日托兒中心有‘盈利’或‘非盈利’之分別。 托兒中心可能是由地方政府，社區組織，雇主贊助或者個人經營。

What is Long Day Care?
Long Day Care Centres provide care and education for children aged from 0 to 6 years of age. Centres are required to operate for a minimum of eight hours a day, with most opening from 7.30am till 6.00pm Monday to Friday.
Centres are licensed by the Department of Community Services. This license requires operators to meet a minimum standard of care, including the number of children the centre can provide care for, staffing levels, space requirements, safety issues and staff qualifications.
Long Day Care Centres are required to employ suitably qualified staff. The number of qualified staff increases with the number and age of children attending the centre. Qualifications of staff may include: Bachelor of Teaching/Education (Early Childhood), Associate Diploma (Early Childhood) and Mother Craft Nurses.
The license also ensures that the centre provide written developmentally appropriate and educational programs, with a balance of indoor and outdoor activities for all individual children who are enrolled at the service.
These educational programs reflect key learning areas. These areas include, social and emotional development, language development, physical development, creativity and intellectual development. Staff maintain records of each child’s developmental progress, which are required to be available for parents to view.
Many Long Day Care Centres provide nutritional meals, including morning and afternoon tea, drinks and lunch for the children, which are included in the daily fee. It is a good idea to confirm with each Centre what is included in their fee structure.
The fees charged by Long Day Care Centres vary from service to service. However the Child Care Benefit is available to families accessing this
service type.
Access to Long Day Care may be difficult. It is recommended that you visit the Long Day Care Centre you wish your child to attend in advance and place your child on the waiting list (fees may apply).
Long Day Care Centres may be operated on a ‘for-profit’ and ‘not-for- profit’ basis. The Centre may be operated or sponsored by; Local Government, Community Based organisation, employer sponsored or privately run by an individual.
