Payment Of Fees
When parents enrol for childcare a fee agreement is signed. Parents are required to pay a bond for each child equivalent to the parents' contribution of 2 weeks fees, once a care pattern is established. Payment of fees will be one (1) week in arrears. Casual/emergency care is to be paid for in full at the time of care.
Childcare accounts are issued on a weekly basis to parents via email, post or their child's information pockets. Our terms are "7 days".
Preschool fees are generated at the beginning of each term for the expected attendance with "30 days" payable and distributed via the child's information pockets.
Payments may be made by putting fees due in a named envelope and placing in the payment box provided. Receipts will be issued for all fees paid. We do not provide change and do not have credit card facilities.
Payments may be made either in cash or cheque made payable to:
Kangaroo Island Children's Services Inc.
