Fees and Free Kinder
In 2024 North Brighton Kindergarten has agreed to participate in the Victorian Government’s “Free Kinder” scheme. This means no ‘fees’ are due to attend a funded kinder program. Participation in the “Free Kinder” scheme in future years is not guaranteed and will depend on the financial situation of the kinder.
There is a gap in the government’s funding and the cost of our program.
We request all families make a one-off voluntary contribution of $880 per child for the 2024 year, or $220 per term to support the delivery of our high quality program.
$100 enrolment application payment. (This payment must be paid to secure your child’s spot at NBK. Once your child begins kindergarten in 2024 under “Free Kinder” this payment becomes refundable and you will be offered a choice to have the payment refunded, or to donate the payment to North Brighton Kindergarten)
EXTRA DAY: Wattle 4yo, Friday 7.5 hours, $115 per day. Invoiced at commencement and at the end of each term for the next term. (Concession card rate not available for this group). This fee is due to be paid prior to the start of each term.
Excursions are not covered under the “Free Kindergarten” initiative and will be charged at cost price to each family.
Families with a HCC or Refugee status receive 15 hours free kinder and are charged no other expenses. Kindergarten Fee Subsidy

Any fees for the upcoming year will be invoiced and payable prior to the start of the term.
Fee payment agreements set out your responsibilities and are signed by all families at the beginning of the year.
