Our Short Day option concludes at the end of the preschool daily program and is from 8am – 4pm. Parents are required to pick their child up and have left the premise by 4pm!
We offer different fees for both options, and different fees for the toddler enrolments. For up to date information on fee’s please call the Centre Director.
A 5% discount applies to families enrolling siblings in the same year.
The fee includes the provision of nutritional morning and afternoon tea, lunch and late snack in accordance with the NSW Ministry of Health guidelines – Caring for Children – Birth to 5 years (Food, Nutrition and Learning Experiences). Should your child not be toilet trained, nappies are to be supplied by the parents.

Equipment Levy: $50.00 (non-refundable)
Bond: $150 (refundable to your account once your child leaves the centre) plus one week’s fees in advance. In advance fees means CCB/CCR will not apply until after the first week of your child’s attendance.
As our centre operates the preschool within a Long Day Care facility, we can offer Government Childcare Benefits and tax rebates for eligible families. You are required to provide a CRN number for both the child and parent claiming CCB/CCR. Please see the following links for additional information:

Late Fee
We are licensed until 6.00 pm. As staff are employed only until 6.00 pm, it is important out of respect for staff that children be collected by this time. If you collect your child after 6.00 pm a late fee will apply. The late fee also applies to families enrolled in the short day option(4.00pm pickup), but are late picking their child up.

These are our preferred options, however, we can be flexible to suit family circumstances and work commitments.
The Centre closes for 2 week each year from Christmas through to early January. Fees are not charged during this time.

The 2 day minimal program ensures consistency and a sense of belonging for children and families with staff.
