Every family must be registered with us and pay an annual membership fee. Parents are interviewed before acceptance to discuss any medical/access/other issue and FAO processing.
During the Annual General Meeting (November/December) re-registration is processed for the coming year.
Depending on the availability of spaces, families not attending the AGM may be required to wait-list for an available space.
The membership is currently $10.00/child or $15.00 per family.
Fees are to be paid 2 weeks in advance, by placing the cheque or money order in the letter box on the sign-in desk. Parents may choose their own payment cycle (week/month/term), but it must be in advance.
Receipts will be placed in the pigeon-holes near the sign-in book in alphabetical order. New families will be given an initial invoice so they can see what fees are due on a weekly basis. After that you're on your own. The fees list is kept in a yellow folder on the computer desk in Jan's office.
If fees are in arrears, you are given a reminder. If this amount is unpaid within 2 weeks a surcharge of 10% will be applied.
Our accounts are audited by both an accountant and by the federal government.
