For Parents

The transition to childcare for the first time or starting at a new childcare centre can sometimes be very emotional for the child and their families.

Our Educators will support you and your child to adjust to their new environment without becoming emotionally distressed.

For some children it may be appropriate for parents to visit several times before their child's official orientation day to facilitate a positive separation. You will be required to stay on Centre premises during the visit.

Our fees vary for each room and relate to the staff to child ratio for each age group.

They are a reflection of the high quality of care we dedicate to each child, our trained and experienced educators and the additional consumables and incursions we include.

As Kinder Cottage is fully accredited, your fees may be offset by the Government Child Care Subsidy (CCS).

In addition, children participating in the Kindergarten Program get 15 hours of free care per week for the 40 weeks the Kindergarten program is carried out in a year.
