Fees are billed weekly, and are required to be paid two weeks in advance, including prior to your child starting at our pre-school. Whilst we do accept cash, we prefer that you set up a weekly or fortnightly automatic payment. Bank account details are on our emailed invoice.
A non-refundable enrolment fee of $50 applies to each child – this covers our administration fee and MANZ (Montessori Association of New Zealand) membership. This is charged again if restarting with us.
The following fees are effective 14th June 2021.
