BILLING OF FEES
Alderley Kindergarten is not registered with Centrelink for the Child Care Subsidy (CCS). Families will not receive any Centrelink Child Care Subsidy (CCS) rebates on Alderley Kindergarten Term Fees, Outside Hours Fees, or Vacation Care Fees. The above fees are only applicable to families who nominate Alderley Kindergarten for KFS Funding. Families acknowledge upon Offer of Enrolment that if their child is attending another Kindergarten program they will advise the alternate provider that Alderley Kindergarten will be in receipt of this funding.
Only 15 hours of Kindergarten fees are subsidised so families enrolled in the 3 day 18 hour program will need to fund the residual additional hours levy.
All fees are to be paid via Direct Debit via ChildCare EasyPay. The following transaction fees apply: Direct debit account 0.88%; Mastercard 1.45%; Visa 1.65%; Corporate & Premium Mastercard 1.66%; Corporate & Premium Visa 1.75%; AMEX 2.42%; International Cards 3.00%.
