Arrivals & Departure

• It is important for your child to attend all of their allocated sessions.  Please phone if sick.
• Sign your child in on arrival and sign out on departure via the Hub at the front desk.
• Ensure that an educator is aware of your child’s arrival and departure.
• Ensure you only let your own child out of the door and no other children

This procedure is to keep all children safe at all times.

Fee Policy

Enrolment Fee

An Enrolment Fee of $50.00 is payable prior to transition visits commencing. If a child does not commence care with the Centre, this fee is non-refundable.

Bond

A bond of 2 days of service is payable before the commencement of bookings.  The bond is refunded when two weeks’ notice in writing of the cancellation of the child’s enrolment is given. Failure to provide two weeks’ notice will result in the forfeit of the bond.

Equipment Fee

An annual Equipment Fee of $100.00 is payable upon the enrolment of each child and at the beginning of the care starts. This fee is used to ensure the maintenance of the building and surrounding areas are safe and promote a productive learning environment. It is also used to provide resources for the children in the Centre.

Payment of Accounts

Payment of accounts is via weekly direct debit from the chosen parent bank account. Forms are completed on enrolment.  

Overdue Accounts

Failure to pay an account in full within seven days will result in an overdue stamp on your next account. If there is a failure to make payment in the full after seven days, a final notice will be issued together with an overdue fee. The overdue fee will be calculated at 10% of the outstanding fees. Furthermore, if you do not respond to this final notice within five days with payment in full, including the overdue fee, you will receive written notice that your child’s/children’s care will be cancelled.

Failure to pay your overdue account within two weeks will result in your place being cancelled. And your outstanding balance will be forwarded to a debt collection agency. Any fees or charges incurred by Mawson Lakes Community Early Learning during this process will also be recovered.
