A new service model is launched since July 2018 in all three childcare centres under CASS, to better meet the demands from the community and to offer parents the opportunity to choose the most suitable child care sessions based on their needs. Comparing to the normal model under which a full-day fee is charged, you are now provided with more flexible options at more affordable costs.

What is the cost under new service model?

For instance, one of our childcare centres opens from 7am to 6pm, amounting to 11 hours of opening hours in total per day. If you request 9 hours of childcare service during standard service hour on any certain day, say between 8:30am to 5:30pm, you will be charged for 9 hours of service, instead of 11 hours for the entire day. Extra cost may incurred only when service is requested before 8:30am or after 5:30pm.

For families enjoying only 12 hours of child care benefit per week, we offer a 6-hour session of care. When you are in urgent needs for casual care for your child, feel free to contact our centres to check availability.

In each centre, community excursion are frequently organised to help children explore the community and learn life skills through playful activities.
