Enrolments

Enrolment Information

Our session days are Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday (9:30am - 2:30pm).

• Age requirements:

  • Playschool is primarily for children who have turned 3 by the 30th of April in the year they attend, and who are expected to attend preschool the following year.

  • In the early weeks of term one, children who have not turned 3 must be accompanied by a parent or carer until, the child’s third birthday.

  • If places are still available throughout the year, the playschool will continue to accept enrolments until at capacity. Children who turn 3 after the ‘cutoff date’ may be accepted if places are still available.

• It is encouraged that children are toileting independently to attend (unfortunately we do not have the staffing to provide adequate active supervision and ensure that we maintain ratios if our staff are constantly having to change nappies.

• Session fees for 2026 are currently* set at;

  • $80 per session and

  • $150 enrolment and resource fee (to be paid at the time of enrolment to secure your child’s place). This fee is non-refundable and covers the considerable work that is undertaken by our team in preparing and maintaining enrolments, the program and resources.

• Farrer Playschool operates in school terms only. Families are not charged for Public Holidays which fall on their child's Playschool day, however absences due to sickness or a personal holiday are invoiced.

• Unfortunately, Farrer Playschool is not currently eligible for the Child Care Subsidy (CCS), however we are in the process of applying and hope to be able to offer it to families soon.

• Priority

  • Returning students (children who are completing a consecutive year at Playschool) then

  • Returning families (families who have had an older child attend Farrer Playschool) will be given first priority

  • After this, families are accepted on a first come, first served basis.

*Depending on enrolments and other factors, the committee may decide to reduce/increase fees during the year at its own discretion.
