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.

All Nelson Tasman Kindergartens 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, then those hours are funded by the Ministry of Education and are free to you.

Most of our Kindergartens offer up to 30 hours free if you attest all of your 20 hours ECE to us.  Please inquire at the kindergarten of your choice if this will apply.

Fees

In some circumstances you will be required to pay a fee. For example, if you do not attest (use) your 20 hours ECE with us.
There will be a fee for all children under two years old.
Our fees range from $5.00 to $6.75 per hour.


​To assist you to pay fees, many families will be eligible for the WINZ Childcare Subsidy. 
Further information on the WINZ Childcare Subsidy.

Enquiries
If you have any enquiries regarding fees, please initially talk to the Administrator at the Kindergarten of your choice.

Family Contribution

All parents are asked for a small family contribution (donation) to cover additional costs not covered by the Ministry of Education funding (30c to 50c per hour).
​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 may be able to contribute in other ways.

Parents can claim the family contribution as a donation for tax purposes.
