Concord West Rhodes Preschool is funded under the Start Strong Funding Model as part of the preschool funding package for preschools to allow 4 and 5 year old children, as well as children from Aboriginal and Torres Strait Island and low-low income families, access minimum 15 hours to Early Childhood Education per week

Based on the eligibility criteria our fees are scheduled as follows • Children must be at least 4 years old on or before the 31st July in that preschool year or • Eligible 3 years old children (Equity children - i.e. from a family holding a low income Health Care Card; Aboriginal & Torres Strait Island children; disability inclusion).

Our preschool is opened for approximately 40 weeks per year and families are billed over three terms for approximately 13 to 14 weeks per instalment (3 Instalments in total).

Fee statements are sent to each family at the beginning of term and are due and payable by Week 3. In the event that a family decides to terminate their enrolment prior to the end of the year, we will refund the unused fees paid - 2 weeks' notice must be given (as per our Fees Policy). Parents have the option of a payment plan which is set out to be paid fortnightly or in monthly instalments - see the Director or Administrator for more information.

Parents are not charged for public holidays or for the pupil free days at the beginning or end of the year. Parents are advised that there is no discount for sick days or when a family is away on holidays. Parents are charged for two weeks fees from the day notice is given when they withdraw their child from the pre-school.

Concord West Rhodes Preschool is a Registered Care Provider.
