Fees for 2022

We are fully booked for 2022

The NSW Department of Education has agreed to provide funding to support community based preschools to assist families by providing 15 hours per week of preschool at no charge. We are delighted to confirm that Elanora Heights Community Preschool will be opting into the Covid-19 Fee Free Funding program and will continue to assess our financial situation throughout the year to see if any changes are required, which will be communicated to families accordingly.

General Information

• Preschool fees are typically calculated on a 10 –11 week term based on a 41 or 42 week preschool year.
• Fees are set by the Parent Board of Management and are subject to change.
• Fees are set in accordance with the Department of Education’s funding guideline.
• To be eligible for a low income fee relief rate – families must present a copy of a Health Care card which lists both the parent and child’s name – with the child listed as a dependent.
• As the preschool is a non profit, community preschool, if family circumstances change and families no longer require fee relief, it would be appreciated if you could advise the preschool office.
• Fees and levies are payable in full, in advance of each term in order to secure your child’s ongoing preschool place.

Fundraising Levy

A fundraising levy has been introduced to relieve the parent body from the workload of organising and running fundraising events. We understand fundraising places a heavy burden on our small committee who have to balance their voluntary committee positions with work and family commitments. This levy will be reviewed annually. The committee reserves the right to hold a fundraising event if an opportunity arises or if the Preschool’s financial position requires it.
