Will it Cost Me Anything?
Because we are a not-for-profit charity that is committed to giving children the best possible start, every cent of our funding is directed towards employing teachers that are trained and registered, and towards creating amazing environments and resources in our kindergartens and centres.
In some circumstances we still need to charge a fee, and we also request a small Family Contribution.
Here is how it works:
All Nelson Tasman Kindergartens and Centres offer the Ministry of Education's 20 Hours ECE Policy.
What this means for you:
If you attest (use) some or all of the 20 hours ECE for your child to a Kindergarten or Centre then those hours are funded by the Ministry of Education.
Families who attest their 20 hours ECE to one of our Kindergartens (except for Futures and Auckland Point), will not be charged a fee for any further hours, even if their child attends 30 hours! This offer does not apply if you attest some of your ECE hours to a different Kindergarten.
Please look here for further information on fees.
Enquiries
If you have any enquiries regarding Fees, please initially talk to the Administrator at the Kindergarten,
or contact the Association Office.

Family Contribution
All parents are asked for a Family Contribution of 30c per enrolled hour to cover additional costs not covered by the Ministry of Education funding. Examples of this are travel costs, profile book printing, art supplies, stationery, and extra activities such as physical development sessions.
These are all things which directly benefit your child and build on the experiences provided at Kindergarten.
It all helps us give your child the best possible start.
(Parents who do not pay this Family Contribution will be asked to contribute in other ways.)
Parents can claim the Family Contribution as a donation for tax purposes.
For further information look here on the IRD website.
