Early Childhood Fees for 2026

As a CCS-approved service, Orana Early Childhood offers a high-quality Steiner Early Childhood Program grounded in warmth, rhythm and purposeful play.

Our fee structure aligns with the broader early childhood sector and provides families with flexible enrolment options. With two booking choices available, parents can select the arrangement that best suits their needs—ensuring you only pay for the care you require while your child enjoys the rich, nurturing Steiner experience that defines Orana.

  • We are now offering two care session options for 2026:
    • 8:30 AM to 3:00 PM – $132 per session (as per our current pre-school hours)
    • 8:30 AM to 5:30 PM – $161 per session

 

Please note that these above prices are the full amount without taking into account your subsidy which will be determined through your application to CCS Services.

 

Three-Year-Old Preschool Funding Approved

Since Term 4, 2025, Orana has offered the ACT Government Three-Year-Old Preschool Funding.

This funding helps reduce out-of-pocket costs for many families if they are eligible.

To be eligible:

  • Your child must be a resident of the ACT
  • You must not be claiming Three-Year-Old Preschool Funding at another provider
  • If your child is completing their 4-Year-Old Preschool year in 2026 (starting Kindergarten in 2027), they can claim Three-Year-Old Funding for Term 4, 2025
  • If your child is completing their 4-Year-Old Preschool year in 2027 (starting Kindergarten in 2028), they will be eligible for funding starting in 2026
  • Families must complete the Parent Declaration and Consent Form by Sunday, 21 September to access the funding. This form will be available from Tuesday the 16 September after our meeting.

 

Cooked meals included and families are asked to bring a piece of fruit and one vegetable each day.
