Kindergarten timetables are amended in response to increases or decreases in the number of children enrolled to ensure the ongoing viability of the organisation and each service.

Four Year Old Kindergarten – Funded 15 hours per week – Year before school

In line with the Victorian State Government Announcement, we are pleased to confirm that the 4 year old funded kindergarten program (up to 15-hours each week) in 2021 will be subsidised by the State Government 2021 Free Kindergarten initiative.  There will be no fees charged for 4 year old funded kindergarten program (up to 15-hours each week) in 2021.

Three Year Old Kindergarten – Unfunded three year old program – Two years before school

In line with the Victorian State Government Announcement, sessional kindergarten services with an unfunded three-year-old program can access a payment of $1,600 for each child enrolled in a program of five or more hours each week. If programs are less than five hours, this amount will be on a pro-rata basis. This means the payment will depend on how many hours your child attends the service.

The $1,600.00 and pro-rata subsidy has been applied and the term fees advertised for the 3 year old program are the compulsory parent fees that families will be required to pay.
