Kenthurst Preschool Enrolment

A child's name may be placed on the Waiting List from birth.  A Waiting List Application form must be filled out online via the link below.

 
Each child in the family must be enrolled separately. No fee is charged to place a child's name on the Waiting List.
 
Places will be offered in strict order of the Waiting List. Priority of access will be given to children who are eligible to attend school the following year.
 
Children with additional needs may be given preference at the discretion of the Department of Education & Communities, or the Director.
 
We commence arranging placements in September, for the following year. The Director of the preschool will call you to discuss your preferred days of enrolment and a position offered. Places are secured with payment of the booking deposit and enrolment paperwork is then completed online via Storypark Manage. Orientation afternoons are held during term 4 (usually first week of December).
Incidental vacancies may be filled during the year.
 

 

Fee Information

The Management Committee aims to keep the fees for the preschool as low as possible. In 2021 and 2022 Kenthurst Preschool has been part of the NSW Government's "Free Preschool" program which provides 15 hrs (2 days) of free preschool per week. Therefore children in 2 day classes will have no fees invoiced in 2022, and children in the 3 day classes will only pay for one day ($37) per week. If you hold a Low Income Health Care / Pension card, you will be eligible for a significantly reduced daily fee for the third day of enrolment. The government has announced the "Affordable Preschool" program for 2023 which we expect will again cover the cost of a 2 day enrolment. Further information will be shared with enrolled families once we have further information.

 

In November of each year the Management Committee sets the fee for the following year and families will be advised of the daily fee towards the end of the year. 

 

Families are not charged for public holidays. Please note that missed days do not entitle you to a refund. 

 

The fee for each term will be due by the first day of each term. If you are unable to pay the term fee in full by the first day, a payment plan can be arranged. This will involve the first 2 weeks being paid by the first day of term, and then fortnightly payments thereafter of two weeks’ fees at a time. If you need to arrange a payment plan, please speak confidentially to Georgie or Leanne in the office.

 

Assistance

If you wish to make application for a reduction in fees due to economic circumstances please see the Director.  Each case will be decided individually, according to guidelines set out by the Department of Education & Communities.

 

Extreme financial hardship cases may be referred to the Management Committee for consideration.
