What does Elite Childcare do?

Patatap Pty Ltd is the sponsor of Elite Childcare Solutions  trading as Elite Family Day Care.

Elite Childcare monitors and supports educators to provide a high quality child care service that meets the needs of the children and families using the service.

Elite Childcare receives operational funding from the federal government; this funding is based on the total hours of child care provided in a quarter. This funding is used to pay staff and further develop the service.

Elite Childcare is approved by the federal government to administer Child Care Benefit on behalf of families. Child Care Benefit is a government program that offers assistance to families in the form of reduced fees or lump sum payments. It is means tested and the amount received depends on the families’ gross income per financial year, this is determined by the Family Assistance Office (FAO).

The staff at Elite Childcare are qualified and have an extensive knowledge of family day care. Our staff support educators and families by:

• discussing the families needs and offering choices in educators (where possible)
• supporting educators in their role and the development of their service
• dealing with queries and concerns from educators and families
• planning and presenting professional development opportunities
• processing payments to educators
