General Information

• The Board of Management reserves the right to vary fees at any time.

• Families who hold a low income Health Care card which includes both the child and parent names (with child listed as a dependent) or a pensioner concession card where the child is listed as a dependent are eligible to reduced fees via application to the Preschool Director.

• The fees are calculated on a yearly basis and averaged out to give families an approximation of the daily rate. That is, we base our fees on a 41 or 42 week preschool year and multiply this by either 2 or 3 days per week, then divide by 4 to give us the term fee.

• 3 year olds are classified as children who turn four after July 31st of the year they are enrolled.

• 4 year olds are classified as children who turn four before July 31st of the year they are enrolled.

• Fees are set in accordance with the Department of Education’s funding guidelines.

• As the preschool is a non profit, community preschool, if family circumstances change and families no longer require fee relief, it would be appreciated if you could advise the preschool office.

• Fees are payable in full, in advance of each term in order to secure your child’s ongoing preschool place.
