The centre Matilda used to go to was $46 a day including all food and wipes and we got a %30 discount, so we paid around $33 a day. Now that she is in family day care it is $4.50 an hour + a $5.00 fee per week. So she is in 8 hours on Monday & 6 hours Wed so we pay for the 14 hours and receive the %30 discount. Our discount is paid directly to the carer so we don't pay the entire amount to them but the gov gives them money ykwim?
