Fees are billed every two weeks 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 automatic payment. Bank account details are on our 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 1st April 2019.

- Children must:
- be in attendance between 9-12am for our Montessori work cycle
- attend three consecutive days, minimum
- attend a minimum of 25 hours a week if they are over three years of age
- bring a piece of fruit every day as a contribution to the community
- bring their own milk and nappies – they are not included.
The above fees include lunch and snacks, as well as the 20 hours ECE subsidy for children three years old and over - for up to 6 hours each day.
We carry a GOLD Healthy Heart award which includes a nutritionally balanced menu. All meat is Halal, and every meal has vegetarian, dairy and gluten-free options available. We are also an egg-free, pork-free and nut-free centre (including in any baking). We offer water to drink, except in the babies room where milks are provided by parents.
Information in relation to WINZ subsidies is also available on request. (e.g. families who are working and are earning less than $1400 per week gross with one child, may be eligible for a WINZ childcare subsidy).
Please refer to our Fees and Finance policy for any further details. A copy is available on Educa and also at our sign-in desk.
