Fees – Wilson Street Kindergarten

Program fees are partly paid by the Victorian government directly to Wilson Street Kindergarten. This keeps fees low and encourages children to have an enjoyable kinder experience.

All kindergartens charge fees to help meet the cost of running kindergarten programs. Fees are set by individual kindergartens and depend on things like how many hours your child attends and whether there are extra costs such as excursions.

Some kindergartens have programs that are not funded by the department, which sometimes attract fees.

As a community run, not for profit kindergarten we pride ourselves on providing a high quality educational program. Maintaining this commitment to excellence and innovation in early childhood education is our priority and in order to uphold the quality of our program, we will be asking families to make a contribution to cover the difference between the cost of our program and the government contribution. In 2024 99% of our families made this contribution; we are grateful to our community for supporting us to protect the future of our program and the ongoing viability of Wilson Street Kindergarten.

It is important for families to carefully consider the best time to enrol their child in 3YO kindergarten as children will be unable to repeat 3YO kindergarten. All children accessing 3YO kindergarten will transition to 4YO kindergarten the following year. Only children who meet the criteria for a second year of 4YO kindergarten will be eligible to access an additional year of 4YO kindergarten. If a child’s birthday falls between January and April, the family can decide whether to enrol their child in the year they turn three or the following year. It is important to note that children can only attend our 3YO program once they have turned three and not before.
