近兩年來，辦公模式的改變，讓更多的父母決定，從澳洲雪梨的市區，搬到了人口密度更低一些的郊區。郊區的托兒中心，也因為日益增長的需求而發生了很大的改變。許多郊區托兒中心的評分隨之上漲。比評分上漲更高的，則是托兒費用。
今天我們就一起來看看，
在新州，
哪些地區的托兒中心總體質量更高？
哪個地區的托兒費用最為昂貴？
你所在地區的托兒費用平均是多少？

新州幼托中心質量最好和最差的地區
KindiCare託兒所評級公司最近首次對全澳1,6552家託兒所及託兒所所在地進行了排名。位於中央海岸Tuggerah的Goodstart Early Learning被評為全澳最優質的幼托中心。
因為疫情的影響，很多悉尼人從市區搬到了郊區，位於郊區的幼托評分也因而上漲。
新州幼托中心最好的前二十個地區中，郊區就佔了一半以上的名額。這些地區包括北海岸的Ballina，紐卡斯爾的Wallsend, 臥龍崗的Gwynneville，以及藍山地區的Glenbrook。
KindiCare的創始人Benjamin Balk說：「由於疫情封鎖等原因，很多家庭搬到了郊區，導致郊區對於幼托中心的需求大大提升。」
另有地產行業的業內人士Chris McNeill說：「在過去18個月的時間中，新州郊區的房屋買賣以及新屋建造許可的數量都呈現了大幅上漲的趨勢，一些地區甚至出現了供不應求的情況。」
「一開始我認為郊區資料的上漲可能只是因為疫情的刺激而產生的一個短暫的影響，但是我慢慢的意識到了郊區的結構發生了調整，這個變化的速度超過了此前的預想。」
「隨著網路速度的提升，人們對於遠端工作也更有信心，郊區和市中心的交通也更加便利，這些都是推進郊區活力提升的因素。」
悉尼的Harrington Park, Camperdown 以及Glenhaven都被評為幼托中心質量最優的地區。
而Cobar, West Wyalong, Bungendore, Allambie Heights 以及 Nambucca Heads則被評為幼托中心質量最差的地區。

新州幼托服務最貴的地區
說到幼托中心，澳洲的家長們苦高費用久矣，根據最近的資料顯示，在新州的一些地區，一些幼托中心每週的收費超過$900 。
悉尼有八個地區躋身全澳托兒費用最昂貴地區的前十名，與此同時，悉尼市區居民湧入郊區，導致新州其他地區的幼稚園價格大幅上漲，
據Careforkids統計，2021年，悉尼托兒費用最昂貴的地區是Barangaroo，平均每天$176。緊隨其後的是Rose
Bay ($165), Sydney CBD ($163), Millers Point ($163), the Rocks ($163)
以及 Haymarket ($161) 。
同時還有兩個位於北海岸地區的郊區上榜，分別是North Turramurra（ $161）和St Leonards（$155.50）。
在這幾個托兒費用最昂貴的郊區搜尋一遍後，你會發現一些託兒所的費用早已遠遠超過了該區的平均水平。
在Rose Bay的My Stepping Stones ，兩歲以下的孩子每天的收費是$190，該幼托中心為孩子們提供了每日主廚課程以及瑜伽課程等等。
My Stepping Stones的發言人將幼托服務的高成本歸因於該區的地理位置，以及該中心為孩子們提供的服務和項目。
在Turramurra，Only About Children對兩歲以下兒童收取的費用是$186/天，附近的Handprints Turramurra則收取$177.50/天。
Handprints Turramurra的管理人員Jasmine Park說，幼托中心的費用高，主要是因為園區租金貴，而且中心內聘請的教職員工數量比法定標準的更多。
「我們的收費可能是有點高，但主要原因是因為我們提供的高質量的服務，以及我們的地理位置，我們這個園區的租金非常昂貴。」
「當我們班級裡由12個學生的時候，按要求我們配三名教師就足夠了，但是我們總是會配四名教師來照顧孩子們。」
澳洲幼托聯盟新州的Lyn Connolly表示，幼托服務費用高昂的原因是因為一些日託中心會提供一些附加的服務，而且現在日託中心的運行費用也在上漲。
「在不同的地區，租金的價格也大不相同，一些幼托中心租金高達$6000，還有一些租金$2500，而這些因素會直接反應到日託中心收取的費用上。
還有一些家庭喜歡日託中心提供的一些附加服務，比如說要有米其林星級主廚之類，而這些服務通常並不在法規要求之內，所以費用自然就高了。
另外，還需要考慮運營成本，每一年教職員工的薪水都會上漲，而且養老金也要上漲，保險，食物，水，市政管理費等等等等都會上漲。
“我們不是敲詐人們的壞人，幼托中心也需要收支平衡。”
來自Burraneer的孕媽Laura Franklin有一個兩歲的女兒正在上託兒所，她說找到一個對的幼稚園對於一個家庭來說就像是掃雷一樣。
“作為一個新手寶媽，我被託兒所的等待名單震驚了，有一些幼稚園我在懷我女兒的時候就已經申請了，但是現在我還是在等待名單裡。「
」每個託兒所之間的區別也很大，有一些託兒所你需要自己帶食物和尿布。「
」當權衡成本的時候，做父母的總是不願意在照顧孩子的質量上妥協。「
」對於那些沒有家人親屬可以幫忙帶孩子的家庭來說，高額的托兒費用真的是一個挑戰。等二寶出生之後，鑑於這個經濟問題，我們家就需要考慮一下我是不是要重回職場。」
根據Careforkids調查的資料還發現，新州有很多郊區的托兒費用大幅上漲。
根據分析，郊區託兒所費用上漲的原因主要是因為人們對於周邊地區托兒服務的需求大漲。
位於悉尼之西Narromine的Dubbo地區，在2021年錄得新州托兒費用上漲之最，從每天$32漲到$122 。
Wollongong的Tarrawanna地區，托兒費用從$32漲到了$120 。
Wiley Park, South Granville, West Pymble, Pennant Hills North以及 Rocks 地區托兒服務每日費用也平均上漲了$20。
Care for Kids的發言人Lauren Simpson表示，幼托行業也感受到了因為疫情帶來的價格上漲。
目前不僅僅是郊區和偏遠地區的幼托中心缺乏專業的教職員工，市區也同樣缺人，再加上人們對於幼托服務的需求上漲，幼托中心想要招聘到高質量的員工非常困難。幼托中心同樣面臨著運營成本的上漲。
最後，我們一起來看一看根據Care for Kids統計出的悉尼各地區幼托中心的平均收費標準。
