Subsidies
Richmond Preschool has a fee subsidy available to families holding a current Pension or Health care card. Subsidy claim forms are required to be completed and proof provided. Any parents who feel they may be eligible for a subsidy should enquire at the office.
Richmond Preschool is state funded and therefore does not attract CCS ( Child Care Subsidy)
Richmond Preschool currently receives Affordable Preschool Funding which enables daily fees to be reduced. Signed Consent forms from families are required to utilise this funding.
