Fees

Early Childhood Fees for 2025

To better meet the needs of our community, Orana Early Childhood has made an application for the Child Care Subsidy, which we hope will come into effect in 2025. This will not change our core program, and we will continue to offer a quality Steiner Early Childhood Program.

In making this transition, our fee structure will be more aligned with the broader early childhood industry, with greater flexibility, as parents will have four options to choose from, paying only for what they need. If successful in our application for CCS, the starting day rate for this program (6.5 hours, 8:30 AM to 3:00 PM) will be $107.25 per day, which includes cooked meals. Families are asked to bring a piece of fruit and one vegetable each day.

To better understand how much your family will pay per day we recommend going to: https://startingblocks.gov.au/child-care-subsidy-calculator
