At Wyndham Vale Montessori Centre, we believe families deserve clarity and confidence when planning their child’s early learning journey. Our fee structure is simple, transparent, and designed to support high‑quality Montessori education across all age groups, all year round.
Our standard fees are designed to provide consistency, flexibility, and access to high-quality Montessori education year-round.
We are pleased to support families with multiple children enrolled at our centre. The second and subsequent children receive a 5% discount, reducing the daily fee to $140.79 per day.
To ensure smooth operations and continued eligibility for government subsidies, the following policies apply:
We aim to support families by aligning with government funding and maintaining consistent availability.
Fees are usually charged on a daily or sessional rate and vary depending on the child’s age group, room, and the type of service (long day care, kindergarten program, etc.).
Yes. Fees are charged for all booked days, including absences due to illness, holidays, or personal reasons. This is standard practice across the sector.
The CCS is a government payment that helps families with the cost of childcare. The amount you receive depends on your family income, activity hours, and the type of childcare service.
You can apply through your MyGov account under Centrelink services. Families must provide all required documents and confirm their enrolment for CCS to start.
The Additional Child Care Subsidy (ACCS) supports families experiencing hardship or specific circumstances. Families approved for ACCS may have reduced out‑of‑pocket fees.
Yes, Our current policy does include sibling discounts, holiday discounts, or the 5% attendance discount.
Families are responsible for paying the full fee until CCS/ACCS is approved or reinstated. Any backdated subsidy will be applied once processed by Centrelink.
Fees are typically billed weekly (every monday) and must be paid in one week advance. Direct debit is the preferred payment method.
Please contact the centre immediately. We encourage open communication so we can work with you before the account becomes overdue.
Yes. Public holidays are charged because the child’s place is held for them, and staffing costs still apply.
All outstanding fees must be paid before the final day. CCS cannot be applied to absences after the last physical attendance.
Yes, depending on availability. Four weeks’ written notice is usually required for changes or cancellations.
At Wyndham Vale Montessori, we always ensure that the attendance we submit to Centrelink aligns with your CCS‑eligible hours. There is also a 0.5‑hour levy included in the session, so if your child stays a little longer than the 10‑hour session, it will still be covered and won’t affect your CCS.
Our minimum session is 9 hours. This option works well for families who receive 72 hours of CCS per fortnight and wish to attend 4 days a week.
