3 YEAR OLD PROGRAM
There are two session options offered for three year old kindergarten [both equate to 15 hours funded program per week]:
These sessions are partly funded by the State Government, with families paying the balance.
* Monday/Wednesday & Friday 5 hour session or
* Wednesday & Friday 7.5 hour session.
The Department of Education and Training (DET) provides per capita funding as a contribution toward the costs of providing a FUNDED kindergarten program two years before school. Services meet the balance of costs through charging fees and fundraising activities.
DET provides a Kindergarten Fee Subsidy (see our Fee Policy document on this website) that enables children from eligible families to attend a funded kindergarten program free of charge, or at a minimal cost.
