Service Features

The Centre has an innovative arrangement that provides an enrolment plan for all 5 days but allowing absences and flexibility for a very low weekly cost.

 

Monday-Friday: 7.30am-5.30pm . Enrolment is for a Standard Plan of at least 30 hours or an Extended Plan of more than 30 hours on 5 days per week. The longer hours give your child more time to engage in our programme and give you less stress and more time to get other things done. The Centre is also open during school holidays, but closed on statutory holidays.

 

Children may attend from the age of 2 years until they go to school at 5-6 years of age. Preference is given to those that enrol full time .

 

Our staffing plan allows excellent teacher/child ratios of usually better than1:8 for preschool groups, to ensure optimum attention for each child..

 

Please enquire to find out the fees applicable to you particular needs and age of child. You will need to formally apply to have the costs and your booking confirmed. As an indication, however, the following weekly charges for full time enrolment applies from week ending 6 February 2011.

  Standard (<30hrs pw) Extended (>30hrs pw/5days)
2-3 Years $130 $190
3-4 years $110 $140
