Enrollment
Fees
The fees are set each year by the Parent Management Committee and are invoiced to families on a term by term basis. There is no charge for public holidays or school term breaks. If your child is sick or the family has an extended holiday, these days are still charged.
All families are charged a Fundraising Levy according to the number of days in attendance. This Levy is to cover the cost of consumable supplies, replacement and/or repairs to the equipment, which all children access. There are no fundraising activities carried out during the year.
Castle Hill Pre-School Kindergarten receives funding from the NSW State Government via the NSW Department of Education/Early Childhood Directorate. These include:
-
-
- Start Strong for Community Preschools Program – provides funding to deliver affordable quality preschool education for 3 to 5 year old children enrolled in eligible community and mobile preschools in NSW.
- Fee Relief in Community and Mobile Preschools – In 2023 the NSW Government is committed to ensuring that all children in New South Wales can participate in 600 hours of quality preschool education. Fee Relief Funding is scaled by hours of attendance.
-
For Castle Hill Pre-School Kindergarten to remain viable, you may still need to pay a shortfall of fees. This shall be calculated yearly according to the variances within our budget and the funding received.
