Start Strong preschool fee relief aims to alleviate some of the costs to families by providing a subsidy for early childhood education and care. If families opt to use their fee relief at Anzac Village Preschool fees will be reduced further. Fee relief can be used to reduce fees for 2 days of attendance per week.

Your child must have turned 3 before they can start and we encourage you to complete a wait list or enrolment form to avoid disappointment.

If your child attends Preschool and they are unwell or become unwell, educators are required to contact you as soon as possible to arrange a pickup. Your child will be supervised separately until you are able to pick them up in order to protect other children and educators.
