3 Day Guarantee at Parkside Early Learning Centre

Three days of subsidised early learning. A stronger start for your child.

From January 2026, the Australian Government’s 3 Day Guarantee ensures every eligible child can access three days of subsidised early learning each week — regardless of parents’ work or study hours. At Parkside Early Learning Centre, we welcome this change. More time at kindy means more consistency, deeper learning, and stronger relationships — all within a calm, nurturing environment designed to help children thrive.

What is the 3 Day Guarantee?

The 3 Day Guarantee is a national initiative starting 1 January 2026 that provides eligible children with a minimum of three subsidised days of early learning per week at approved early learning centres.

The goal is simple: to give children more stability, stronger routines, and better developmental outcomes during their most important early years.

With the 3 Day Guarantee, your child can enjoy: More consistency – regular days help children feel secure and confident Stronger learning outcomes – continuity supports deeper engagement and progress Better social development – friendships and educator relationships grow with time A smoother transition to school – children build skills, independence, and resilience For families, it also means greater access to subsidised early learning, helping reduce financial pressure while giving children the best possible start.
