Welcome to Simba Education St Ives — premium childcare in Upper North Shore, Sydney.
Where children feel safe, inspired, and excited to learn every day.
Simba Education offers a 50% discount on up to 4 weeks of care per year, so that you aren’t paying the full daily rate to keep your place secure in your absence.
*Discount applies to a maximum of 4 weeks of booked care per child per financial year (1 July to 30 June) and covers absences from booked sessions only. Advance notice of 1 week is required. Simba Education reports the discounted session fee to Services Australia, and Child Care Subsidy is calculated on that discounted fee, not the standard daily rate. Child Care Subsidy is available for a maximum of 42 absence days per child per financial year across all reasons, including illness and public holidays. Absences beyond this limit are not subsidised unless approved by Services Australia, and the full discounted fee will be payable. Child Care Subsidy entitlement ceases after 6 weeks of overseas travel until the family returns to Australia. Unused weeks do not roll over and are not redeemable for cash or credit. Available to families with accounts in good standing. Terms and conditions apply.
