Kindergarten is not a free service. Our three and four year old kindergarten programs are subsidised by the government however fees need to be charged to cover the shortfall. These fees are set by the individual kindergartens and are kept as low as possible. If you have a current pension or health care card, the government pays a higher amount to the kindergarten for your child so you will pay a discounted amount in kindergarten fees. Please contact us for further information.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_toggle][et_pb_toggle title=”When should I enrol my child for kindergarten?” open_toggle_text_color=”#ff236c” open_toggle_background_color=”rgba(0,0,0,0)” closed_toggle_text_color=”#ff236c” closed_toggle_background_color=”rgba(0,0,0,0)” icon_color=”#ff236c” _builder_version=”4.9.0″ title_text_color=”#ff236c” title_font=”|800|||||||” title_font_size=”21px” max_width=”83%” module_alignment=”center” hover_enabled=”0″ border_width_all=”6px” border_color_all=”#ff236c” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n Box Hill North Kindergarten takes enrolments through the Whitehorse Preschool Association [WPSA].
