Parents on government subsidy

[ceECE]

My rates are higher than subsidy pays, so parents have a parent portion that they are expected to pay. I personally haven't had a problem with not being able to claim their amount. I do include subsidy policies in the contract including parent portions and missed days being the parents financial responsibility because I can't claim for those days. If parents think this may be out of reach for them, then it is up to us to decide before the contract is signed if we can accept the risk of the loss of income.

But right now, I currently have 3 children that are subsidized and all is good!

do you have to go through an agency , or can you keep the client as private?
I have a private client that just told me she aplied for subsidy . i not sure yet if she'll get it . but i'm just wondering how it works . i am enrolled with an home childcare agency and i've had in the past a subsidyzed client with them but never had to deal with it privatly. any advise? do i have to pass this client to the agency and will it be easier as well?
thanks for your time
