Richmond Preschool has a fee subsidy available to families if you are 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 operates on a four-term basis coinciding with normal school terms in line with the NSW Dept of Education. We have educator and staff development days at the beginning of Term 1 and end Term 4 each year.

Any normal public holidays are observed by the preschool. These are exempt from fees.
