Fees
Fees are paid by automatic payment. The first automatic payment is paid the week the child starts the centre and paid 52 weeks per year. These are still paid during holidays or illness which helps ensure staffs wages. This method is reflected in our prices and made them more affordable in the long run.
Subsidised Early Childhood Education (ECE)
The government subsidises children aged 3-4 who attend ECE.
20 Hours ECE
Fees are subsidised for up to 6 hours a day and up to 20 hours a week if your child is 3-4 years old.
You can find more information on funding rates in the Ministry’s funding handbook.
