Book a Centre Tour

Seeing our centre in person is the best way to know if it's the right fit for your family. Our friendly team will guide you and answer any questions.

  • Find your nearest Brightly Early Learning centre using our Find a Centre tool.
  • One of our team members will get in touch to arrange a tour at your preferred centre.
  • On your visit, meet our educators, explore engaging learning spaces, and discover our curriculum and daily routines.

Understand the Child Care Subsidy (CCS)

The Child Care Subsidy (CCS) helps make childcare more affordable for eligible families.

  • Check your eligibility on Services Australia.
  • Apply for CCS through MyGov.
  • Share your CRN (Customer Reference Number) and your child's CRN with us when enrolling.

Start your CCS application early — approvals can take up to six weeks. Having it ready ensures a smooth start for your child with no unexpected costs.

Join the Waitlist (If Needed)

Some Brightly Early Learning centres are in high demand. If your preferred centre is full, we can place you on a waitlist and keep you updated.
