FEES
The preschool’s fees are reviewed annually in line with information released by the Department of Education.
As a community-based preschool, we do not receive Child Care Subsidy (CCS). Instead, families benefit from Start Strong fee relief, which supports the affordability of quality early childhood education. Where a child attends more than one service, only one service may be nominated to receive the funding.
​
If you would like more information about our current fee structure, please feel free to get in touch — we would be more than happy to share further details with you.
IMMUNISATION REQUIREMENTS
All children enrolled in the Preschool program must either be fully vaccinated, on a catchup schedule or have a medical exemption.
GETTING A POSITION AT WALLUM COMMUNITY PRESCHOOL
Please understand that the time your child has spent on the waiting list does not determine placement in our preschool program. Placement is guided by the NSW Government, which sets funding and access priorities. We know how important preschool is for every child, and we are committed to supporting families throughout the enrolment process.
WHEN WILL PARENTS BE NOTIFIED OF ACCEPTANCE?
For children 3 years old and older, we aim to notify all parents by September/October of every school year.
