Sessions and Fee Information

At Sustainable Play Preschool, families have the choice of different sessions of care as part of our Sessional Care structure. These sessions have been created to reduce out-of-pocket costs and to support families to make the most of the Child Care Subsidy (CCS) entitlements they already receive.

Sessional Care involves reviewing how long your child actually needs to be at preschool each day. Currently, the preschool is open for 10.5 hours a day (from 7:30am-6:00pm), however you may only require 9 hours of care. Without sessions, families could potentially go over their CCS allotted hours or be paying for care when they don’t need it.

With sessions, you are only using the hours that you need, which means you may have additional subsidy hours you could use per week!

At Sustainable Play Preschool, we try to be as transparent as possible so that families can make the right decision for their unique needs. Differing sessions of care will benefit different families. so if you would like to discuss your specific circumstances, please get in touch with us.

• We offer families 9-hour and 10-hour sessions, as well as our current ‘full-day’ session from 7:30am – 6:00pm
• Your session time starts once you drop off your child at the preschool
• The session fees depend on the session and the age of the child. See the Fee Chart below to find out your fees (not including your CCS entitlements).
• We know the day can get away from us, so we allow a grace period of 30 minutes on either side of the session before we charge ‘Out of Session’ fees. The grace period only applies during our preschool’s opening hours from 7:30am-6:00pm. If you do not come to pick up your child by 6:00pm, we will charge our standard ‘Late Pick Up Fees’ per our fee policy.
