Fees

Funding received from the State Government meets a proportion of our operating costs. This funding is allocated to children who are 4yrs or older by the 31st July in the current year. Children who turn 4 yrs from 1st August in the current year are not funded unless they are from a low income, Aboriginal or Torres Strait background. Fees are therefore an essential part of our budget. These fees are subject to change. The committee does endeavour to keep these fees down and will advise you, the parents, when and if, an increase is necessary at least 2 weeks before a proposed change.

Pre-School currently receives Start Strong Fee Relief from the NSW Governement. Declaration form must be filled in for all families in regards to this fee relief.

Fees will be issued through Kidsoft for each term and will be due within two (2) weeks of the invoice date unless they are being paid weekly or fortnightly. All fees must be finalised by the end of each term. Fees can be paid by direct deposit to the Preschool.

Fee Structure 2025

To ensure the longevity of Moree Pre-School and meet budget restraints, the Management Committee have decided for 2025 to set fees at $27.50 full fee and $12.50 equity fee and to reduce the amount of the residual subsidy.
