Kindergarten Fees

Our morning group is a funded program, receiving funding from Department of Education and Early Childhood Development (DEECD) and the City of Port Phillip.

For the families in the morning group with a Health Care Card, DEECD and the City of Port Phillip provide a subsidy to reduce fees.

The afternoon group receives no funding. Funding does not cover the full cost of running a kindergarten - therefore we must ask for fees. As the afternoon group receives no funding, fees are more expensive per hour. Fees are collected for the first term at your interview in January / February and for second, third and fourth terms on the first day of term by the treasurer. You will receive an account.

Payment by cheque is preferred. New families accepting a position at kindergarten are asked to pay a holding fee of $100.00, which is deducted from your first term fees. This fee is not refundable. If the child is already attending kindergarten, the complete fee will be paid in first term.
