The Tenterfield Preschool Kindergarten Inc Management Committee reviews its fees annually.

Fees are payable to finance the difference between government funding, the operating cost of the Preschool and are payable in advance by term accounts.  The Management Committee aims to keep fees to the minimum amount required to meet all Preschool expenses.

• Fees are payable for the full number of sessions for which the child is enrolled whether he/she attends or not.

• Non-payment of fees by the due date may mean that your child cannot attend Preschool until payment is received.

• Payment can be made to the Preschool by cheque, cash or by direct deposit or Centrelink Direct Payment

The NSW Government Education and Communities “Start Strong” initiative states that funding will be targeted to children in their year before school and to disadvantaged children aged 3 and over who attend 600 hours per year (15 hours per week). This means that children eligible for a funded Preschool place under the new Preschool funding model will be either:

• 4 years old on or before 31 July in that preschool year and not yet in compulsory schooling and attending 600 hours per year (15 hours per week); or

• 3 years old on or before 31 July in that preschool year and from a disadvantaged background (i.e. from a low income Health Care Card holding family and/or Aboriginal) and attending 600 hours per year (15 hours per week).

Annual membership of the Incorporated Body is $5.80 applied in first term.
