Fees

Fees, together with monies allocated by the NSW Department of Education, provide funds for the operation of the Preschool. A registration fee, to cover administrative costs, a fundraising levy, a Kindyhub fee and an annual member’s fee must be paid on enrolment. This year the registration fee, fundraising levy and Kindyhub fee is optional.

The NSW Govt funding under their Start Strong program is provided for children who are enrolled for 600hrs (=15 hrs per week) of preschool and are at least 4 years of age before 31st July. 3yo children who attend for 600hrs are partially funded. Equity funding is provided for any child enrolled at preschool who have an Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander background or whose family holds a current Health Care Card/Pensioner Concession Card and attending for 600hrs.

This year all children in both the 3 and 4 year old groups will have 15 hours of FEE FREE preschool for 2022. Children who attend more than 15 hours will be charged $60 for their third day of attendance. Fees are calculated for the 40 weeks of the year then divided into 3 invoices. This means that by the end of Term 3, the full year’s fees are paid and there will be no account in Term 4.

The first invoice will be sent to families in January along with a letter explaining fees and the Preschool’s Fee Policy. The second and third invoice will be placed in your child’s locker at the end of Term 1 and Term 2.
