What are the daily childcare fees at Roseville Kindergarten?

$135 per day for our Preschool program (9am to 3pm) and $166 per day for our Long Day Care program (8am to 5:30pm). Both programs are for children aged 3 to 6 years. Most families pay much less than the full daily fee once Child Care Subsidy is applied.

Are you Child Care Subsidy approved?

Yes. Roseville Kindergarten is a CCS-approved service. Most families pay much less than the full daily fee once their subsidy is applied. From 5 January 2026, the 3 Day Guarantee gives most CCS-eligible families at least 72 hours of subsidised care per fortnight regardless of work or study activity.

The full education program, sunscreen, a bucket hat, daily physical activity as part of our outdoor program, daily photos via OWNA app, and access to our leafy outdoor classroom.

A holding deposit of $500 is payable on enrolment. We take it off your last invoice when you leave, as long as you give us 4 weeks' written notice. There is no waitlist fee.

Two simple programs covering education, care and afternoon tea, with families providing morning tea and lunch. Most families pay much less than the full daily fee once Child Care Subsidy is applied.

Roseville Kindergarten is a CCS-approved preschool and long day care for children aged 3 to 6 years, set among established gum trees on Shirley Road, Roseville. We have been part of the local community since 1992. The daily fee covers the full education program, sunscreen, a bucket hat, and afternoon tea (for long day care children). Children bring their own morning tea and lunch from home, plus a change of clothes, a comforter if your child uses one, and a labelled water bottle.

Child Care Subsidy and what you actually pay

Roseville Kindergarten is a CCS-approved service. Most families pay much less than the full daily fee once their subsidy is applied.

The 3 Day Guarantee (from 5 January 2026): CCS-eligible families now get at least 72 hours of subsidised care per fortnight (about 3 days per week), regardless of work or study activity. Some families can access up to 100 hours per fortnight, including those with higher recognised participation, valid exemptions, or an Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander child in care. Your subsidy percentage still depends on your family income and the age of your child. The activity test still applies if you want more than 72 hours per fortnight.

Fees on public holidays and absent days

Fees are charged for all enrolled days, including public holidays and any day your child is absent. This is the standard arrangement for long day care services in Australia and is the basis on which the Child Care Subsidy is calculated. CCS continues to apply to absences up to a yearly cap set by the Department of Education.

Enrolment deposit

A holding deposit of $500 is payable when you accept an enrolment offer. We take it off your last invoice when you leave, as long as you give us 4 weeks' written notice. The deposit is fully refundable if you give the required notice.

Joining the waitlist is free.
