Mother of two Kelly Watts is hoping the Government's 'FamilyBoost' rebate will mean she can afford to have her three-year-old in kindy for longer.
Her husband works full time, while she works part time from home - often with her three-year-old and younger toddler vying for her attention at the same time.
But there will be delays to her pay as parents will have to submit invoices through Inland Revenue's website to get their rebate.
Watts spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.
