Payment
Do I get charged for Public Holidays?
Yes. If your child is booked for daycare or to attend our pre-kindy program on a day that is a public holiday, you will still be charged for that day. You are still able to claim CCS for this if you are eligible.
What happens in the event of a bushfire?
If the Bureau of Meteorology states that the fire rating in our area is classed as Catastrophic, the centre will be closed for that day. We will contact all parents via email and phone the previous day.
We have a centre emergency evacuation policy and procedure which is displayed on the wall in both our rooms for your information and we practice our evacuation drill every 3 months with the children.
What are the fees?
Our fees for Possums Daycare room are $80.50 per day.
Pre-Kindy is $87.75 per day.
As an approved provider centre, you can claim Child Care Subsidy for both rooms if you are eligible.
