AMEP Childcare

Free childcare while you study

If you have young children, you can still study with us. We work with a childcare company called KU Children’s Services to offer you free* childcare while you study with Navitas English. If you are enrolled in our Adult Migrant English Program (AMEP) and have children aged under 6 years, we have safe, friendly places that will look after your children.

Fun and learning for children, too

Going to a childcare centre while you study gives your child a great chance to learn new skills, improve their English and meet new friends.

There are lots of other reasons childcare is a good idea, including:

• children have fun and learn more about Australian culture
• your child can meet other children from different backgrounds
• your child can learn skills for when they start school
• you will learn about childcare and the school system
• you can get advice about your child’s education
• you can meet other parents and make new friends.

How does our free childcare work?

First, the KU Children’s Services team will talk to you about a place for your child while you study the AMEP course.

A few things to note:

• You may not be able to get a childcare place immediately as some childcare centres have waiting lists. However, we will get you a place as soon as possible.
• You can only use the childcare under your free* AMEP course while you are in class. You cannot use the childcare if you are sick or not attending the course.
• Please let the childcare centre know as soon as possible if your needs change.

*Eligibility criteria apply. The Adult Migrant English Program (AMEP) is funded by the Australian Government Department of Home Affairs.
