 Daily Fees

Rosellas Community Preschool currently receives funding in accordance with the NSW Department of Education & Communities “Start Strong“ Funding Model. This model provides funding to;

• Children in their year before school (i.e. aged four and five years old as at 31 July);

• Partial Base Funding for 3 year olds; and

• Additional “Equity” Funding is received for: 

  • Families who provided a copy of their current Health Care Card or Pension Card; and

  • Families with an enrolled child who identifies as Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander. 

  • Children with an eligible diagnosed disability.

Please feel free to contact the Preschool for a current fee schedule.

The Start Strong Fee Relief aims to deliver 600 hours of fee relief for eligible children enrolled in a preschool program to help reduce the cost. Funding is allocated at discounted rate against your applicable fees and levies. Please note that in line with guidelines for the Start Strong Fee Relief Funding, families who attend more than one service must nominate one of these services to receive the funding.
