What's included

A richer start, all included in your fees

At Choklits, the experiences that help children flourish are part of every day, not optional add-ons. That means freshly prepared meals approved by Nutrition Australia, nappies, sunscreen and all consumables are included in your daily fee. So is everything listed in CHOKLITS+ including music, yoga, sport, messy play, cooking, library visits, language sessions and our weekly bush kinder. No surprise bills. No “extras” tucked into the fine print.

We’re also a registered provider of Victorian Government-funded three-year-old and four-year-old kindergarten, delivered by qualified early childhood teachers and built right into the daily program. Most families are eligible for the Child Care Subsidy too, which reduces out-of-pocket costs even further. Our team is happy to walk you through what your fees look like in practice, so you know exactly where you stand before your child starts.

I would like to thank all the staffs of this Choklits Surrey Hill, especially the Director Qing and Manager Dee, for their support during this tough time for my child and I. I just moved to Box Hill, and I have had multiple tours around all the childcare in Box Hill. But there was not any make me feel satisfied with. As a result, I finally came across Choklits on a strong recommendation from a friend who has worked in the education industry for more than ten years. The environment inside is the cleanest childcare I have ever visited. And the teachers and children in this childcare are very kind. And the apps used for communication between families and educators is also very convenient for parents to know their children’s daily situation at any time. Teachers and the diretor will also communicate with each parent in a timely and patient manner. And they were very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about my child in a short time. So my child adapted to this new environment with their help in few days. Also, the distribution ratio between children and teachers is appropriate. Almost every child receives timely care and attention. Especially children with allergies are also highly concerned and cared by Choklits. The Choklits’s food is very good and the facilities here are also very good. Parents are strongly recommended to send their children to this childcare. This is undoubtedly a great support for parents.
