Little Gems Childcare & Early Learning Centre

We had to go away for a few months because my partners dad was sick. Jamie convinced my partner to keep our child enrolled 1 day a week so that she wouldn't "loose" her spot. 6 weeks later Jamie had drawn our account down to almost zero and centrelink stopped paying the subsidy because our child had been absent for 6 weeks. Jamie obviously knew this would happen, we told her we would have to unenroll our child because we wouldn't be returning for another month. Jamie told us we would have to give 2 weeks notice and we would be charged the full rate for the remaining 2 weeks. Roughly 10x what it would normally cost us. Jamie knew the subsidy would be stopped after 6 weeks of being absent but she didn't call us at 4 weeks she waited until it was already cut off. They are now trying to take us to court for $800 for two sessions when that would normally cost us around $80. This isn't a gym membership it's childcare. Jamie and little gems were paid for a child to be absent for 6 weeks but that's not enough to sate Jamie's greed she needs more free money. Jamie and little gems should be ashamed of themselves, and maybe if Jamie's lifestyle was different and she had children of her own she would understand the financial pressures young families face.
