FEES & ENROLMENT | yackandandah-kinder

FEES

Our Service offers a range of fully funded and non-funded kindergarten and pre-school programs.

Since 2023, the Victorian State Government fully funds one year [15 hours per week] of kindergarten for 3yo and 4yo children.

Families will be required to only pay the maintenance and IT levies for the 15 hours pw program.

Additional program days for 3yo and 4yo children are available to families in the community which are non-funded and therefore attract a fee.

4yo Children:

A Non-funded School Readiness day 8.15am - 3.45pm.

Cost: $656 each day per term.

3yo & 4yo Children:

Non-funded Bush Kinder Program from 8.15am - 3.45pm. Cost $688.80 per term.

For details on costs please contact the office.
