Payment of Fees at Pennant Hills War Memorial Children's Centre
With the change in NSW Dept of Education funding in 2017, fees will be lower than they were in 2016. From January 2017, fees will be $51 per day for 4 year olds (children who will turn 4 BEFORE 31st July 2017) and $65 per day for 3 year olds (children who will turn 4 AFTER 31st July 2017). If you have a low income Health Care Card (issued by the Government) please let the office know, as you will receive a reduction in fees.
Fees will be issued before the end of term for the following term, with the exception of the beginning of the year when they will be issued over the Christmas break.
Fees are due in full by the end of Week 2 of each term UNLESS you have made prior arrangements with the office to make part payments. If you wish to make part payments, please provide the office with a schedule of payments – i.e. weekly, monthly, split payment into two.
If you are making regular part payments, you will be required to settle your term fees by the second last week of term, with the exception of Term 4, when “part payment” fees are due in full by the end of November.
Invoices will be distributed via email, unless you advise that you would prefer a hard copy, in which case it will be put into your child’s locker at Preschool.
If you have not paid term fees by the due date, and have NOT made arrangements for part payments, you will receive a reminder in Week 3 of term with an additional $10 late payment fee.
Subsequent reminders will be issued fortnightly and will incur an additional $10 late payment fee for each reminder.
If you are having difficulty paying your Preschool fees, please come and see the office in confidence before the due date, so we can discuss a suitable option for you.
If payment is not made by Week 6 of a term, this matter will be referred to the Management Committee of the Preschool. If payment is not received by the end of a Term, the child’s position at Preschool may be forfeited.
Our preferred method of paying fees is by direct deposit to our bank account. We will no longer be accepting cash or cheques. Our bank details are :
