Child Care Benefit (for Registered care)
 
Child Care Benefit (CCB) is an Australian Government payment that can assist eligible families with the costs of childcare at an approved or registered care provider. Woodbine Road Preschool is a registered care provider with the Family Assistance Office (FAO).
 
Registered care is childcare provided for work-related purposes, including training and studying, maternity leave, sick leave or voluntary work, and the work-related purpose must have occurred at some time during the week in which the registered care was used. Registered care is provided by individuals registered with the Department of Human Services and may include care given by kindergarten staff.
 
The amount payable is set by the Australian Government. Further details are available at: www.humanservices.gov.au/customer/themes/families or telephone 136 150
 
Early Start Kindergarten Fee Subsidy
 
Three-year-old Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children and children known to Child Protection are eligible to attend a funded early childhood program that is planned and delivered by a qualified early childhood teacher free of charge. The service receives funding for children who meet the eligibility criteria. Contact the service for further information.
 
Twins Discount
 
Parents/Guardians of children enrolling twins in our four year old program qualify for a 10% discount of fees for the second child enrolling.

Late Collection Charge
 
The Committee of Management reserves the right to implement a late collection charge when parents/guardians are frequently late in collecting a child from the service. This charge is currently $1.00 per minute overdue, and is set at a level determined by the Committee of Management (refer Arrival & Departure Policy). If on the rare occasion you happen to be running late, please phone the Preschool to let the educators a courtesy call.
