Fees & Enrolment
Prospective families are welcome to visit the Centre at anytime by contacting us to make an appointment.
The Centre has a waiting list that prospective parents fill out prior to needing care. To become part of the waiting list we encourage families to make an appointment with the Centre to have a brief look and become familiar with the philosophy and practices as well as become aware of the location of the Centre. Once a vacancy arises for their child the Centre will contact the parents and an interview will be arranged.
- The service requires an enrolment fee of $50 from all enrolling families to secure their enrolment and should be paid when providing enrolment documents. This fee will be deducted on the families’ first tax invoice.
- Enrolments will not be processed until this fee is received. This is a non-refundable fee that will be forfeited should the family choose not to continue with the enrolment.
