Overview

KU Mosman Community Preschool goes beyond childcare. We create a safe and nurturing environment where childhood is celebrated.

We are proud of our longstanding reputation within the local community of providing rich education and care tailored to each child’s needs in a family-focussed and supportive way.

With spacious indoor and outdoor play areas filled with opportunities, KU Mosman is a warm and welcoming preschool where we help each child reach their full potential.

About this service

Our program and approach

When children play and explore, their imagination and curiosity are sparked – they enjoy learning, and are inspired to continue learning more.

Our play-based program intentionally provides a wide range of engaging opportunities and activities based on the Early Years Learning Framework.

We have a special interest in nurturing a love of literature, through group-time discussion, author and illustrator studies and reading quality books. This fosters a joy in reading and lays a strong foundation for school and beyond.

Fees

The daily fees for 2024 at KU Mosman Community Preschool are:

Age group	Amount
4 year old Start Strong Fee Relief fee	$15.00
3 year old Start Strong Fee Relief fee	$39.00
Start Strong Equity Fee Relief fee	FREE
Unfunded fee	$105.50

The NSW Government is committed to ensuring that all children in NSW can participate in 600 hours of quality preschool education in the year before school, no matter where they live or what their circumstances are.

To ensure that affordability is not a barrier for families, the NSW Government provides Start Strong funding. This funding makes 600 hours, or 15 hours per week, of preschool participation in the two years before school more affordable. In KU preschools, this 15 hours per week is met by enrolling for two days per week, and offers your child quality early childhood education.

Which fee will you pay?

Start Strong Fee Relief Fee (3 year olds and 4 year olds)

From 2024, the NSW Government is providing additional fee relief funding of $4,220 per eligible child. This enables NSW preschools to reduce the daily fee as much as possible, within the Start Strong funding parameters.

This funding is for children who:

Turn 3 or 4 years of age by 31 July of the preschool year, and
Are enrolled in a preschool program for 15 hours per week. At KU preschools, the ‘15 hours’ is usually met by enrolling in two 7.5-hour days per week.

Start Strong fee relief can only be accessed at one service, either a preschool or long day care service. This ensures as many children as possible can access affordable early childhood education.

To be eligible for Start Strong fee relief funding, the NSW Department of Education requires parents to sign the ‘Fee Relief Declaration and Consent’ form at the time of enrolment.

Start Strong Equity Fee Relief Fee

The NSW Government provides further funding for children who meet the Start Strong Equity funding criteria. These include:

Children with an Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander background
Children from a family holding a Health Care Card or Pensioner Concession Card
Children with disability or additional needs

If you think you may be eligible for Equity funding, please speak with the Preschool Director further about this.

Unfunded Fee

The Unfunded Fee is charged when a family has chosen to access the Start Strong fee relief at another community preschool or long day care service.
