PROCEDURES FOR PAYMENT OF FEES

1. Fees are payable two weeks in advance at the beginning of Term 1.  Then fortnightly in advance for the remainder of the year.  Fees may also be paid by the term if you wish.
2. Fees are payable for all holidays taken during school term.  Fees are not charged for gazetted school holidays.
3. Fees may be waived for serious illness, or prolonged hospital treatment, at the discretion of the Committee, on receipt of written notification with a Doctor’s certificate attached.

4. Fees per day for 2017 are as follows:-

   The NSW government has released a new funding opportunity called Start Strong, Department of Education (our funding body) will provide families a 'rebate' to lower their daily fees when they access a preschool for a minimum of 2 days per week. Families who will be eligible for reduced fees are those whose children; are 4 years old, (a child is classified as 4 for the whole year if turning 4 before 31st July of that year) AND attend a 2 or 3 day enrolment pattern. Or, 3 or 4 year old children where families hold a health care card (low income) AND attend a 2 or 3 day enrolment pattern. Hence for 2017 from January to December - All children who fall under these categories will automatically have their fees rebated to:
   $23.00 - 4 year old child attending 2 or 3 days with a Family Health Care card or Pension card;  $28.00 - 4 year old child attending 2 or 3 days;   $28.00 - 3 year old child attending 2 or 3 days with a Family Health Care card or Pension card;

The NSW government will NOT provide a rebate for families of 3 year children without a health care or pension card, or for families of 4 year old children who have decided to enrol for only ONE (1) day attendance per week, hence the fee structure will be as follows:    

$48.00 - 3 year old child (non health care or pension card); $48.00 - 4 year old child only attending ONE (1) day at preschool.

5. In addition to the attendance fees, families are required to pay an Equipmant Levy of $15.00 per family per term, Fundraising Levy of $5.00 per family per term and a Membership to Preschool Association fee of $1.00 per family per year.
6. Springwood Preschool is a CASH FREE service. Fees are to be paid by Direct Debit Authority from either a bank account or Credit card and can be set up through your Hubworks enrolment page. A receipt will be issued for all monies paid, these will be emailed where possible or placed in the Parent Files in the blue and green boxes in the foyer and we ask that you collect them on a regular basis.
7. If your child is leaving preschool, notice in writing must be given two (2) weeks in advance, or two (2) weeks fees will be charged in lieu of notice.
8. For the purposes of CCB the preschool is a 'Registered Care' provider. Please speak to Family Assistance Office about claiming CCB Registered Care Rebate, this is paid directly to you by FAO if you qualify and does not reduce the daily attendance fee payable to Preschool.
9. If you are experiencing any difficulties in the payment of fees at any time throughout the year, please feel free to come and discuss them with us.  You will not know if we can help, unless you ask.
