Enroling your child into Brayside
Opening Times
We follow the school calender year which means we are closed in all term school holidays. You are not required to pay for term holidays or public holidays. Our Preschool hours are between 8:15am – 3:45am, and daily opening hours 8:00 am – 4:00 pm.
Enrolment Fees
Brayside is a non-profit organisation and so fees will always reflect the costs of service provision. Fees will be set by the parent management committee after review by a Budget Sub-Committee. In payment of annual membership a family makes themselves members of the association and establishes eligibility for voting at Annual General Meetings and or other Special Meetings.
Strong Start Affordable Preschoool
In 2023, the NSW Government made an investment over 4 years to provide fee relief to families with children in preschool. From early 2023, this fee relief is available to all eligible families through the Start Strong for Community Preschools program. To be eligible children must be 3 years old on or before 31 July 2024. To apply for this funding families must complete the start strong fee relief declaration. Families can only access fee relief at one early childhood education service at any one time for each child.
