We're delighted to welcome our third franchisee, Veronica, who will commence operations in the North Sydney area in March. Veronica has taken advantage of the excellent terms and generous territories offered by Computer Gym, including a $80,000 first year income guarantee.
Veronica starts in an area that already has existing business and is keen to quickly build her area and employ additional teachers.
Fantastic territories are now available in most capital cities. Many of these exclusive territories have existing Computer Gym customers. Combined with our "Thumbs-Up" Income Guarantee, we'll ensure you're off to a great start in your own business.
You'll need time to thoroughly research this opportunity, followed by training and familiarisation, so now is the time to start - call or email us now to find out more.
Recent Federal Government announcements have demonstrated ongoing support for Australia's pre-schoolers and the services that provide them with education and care.
The May budget included an announcement of increased child-care subsidies for families. The subsidy will increase from a maximum of 30% to a maximum of 50% of out of pocket costs, providing up to an extra $2500 annually to some families. Treasurer Wayne Swan said increasing the child-care rebate would not only help families financially but would increase the number of parents returning to work.
The Government is also currently undertaking an investigation into introducing paid parental leave. Again, a driving factor is to make returning to work easier for parents.
Both of these initiatives are good news for Australia's child-care providers, as well as for Computer Gym. We hope it translates to many more children having the opportunity for lessons.
It's great to see a growing focus on the importance of learning as part of a child's care programme. Recent announcements from the Australian Government, in addition to studies like the Victorian Blueprint review, are highlighting educational needs in early childhood.
More and more child care centres are recognising the value of a solid education programme, in addition to their responsibilities as carers for their children.
