Enrolment & Fees
We're delighted to welcome children aged 3–5 years to Small Folk Preschool, opening 2027 and operating Monday to Friday, 8:30am–4:00pm.
Join the waitlist
Join our waiting list; when enrolments open we’ll guide you through the process. When a place becomes available we will invite you and your child to an orientation visit — a chance to meet our educators, explore the learning environment and help your child feel at home in their new preschool.
Join our WaitlistFees & the Child Care Subsidy
We offer affordable daily fees, with eligible families able to access the Child Care Subsidy (CCS) to help reduce out-of-pocket costs.
What is the Child Care Subsidy?
Financial assistance from the Australian Government that reduces the cost of approved care. The amount depends on your family's circumstances, including income and activity level.
How does it work?
If you're eligible, the subsidy is paid directly to Small Folk, reducing what you pay — you're only responsible for the remaining gap fee.
How do I apply?
Apply through your myGov account linked to Centrelink. Once your child is enrolled with us, you'll confirm your enrolment through Centrelink before your subsidy can be applied.
Why might I pay less than the daily fee?
Many families receive a significant reduction in out-of-pocket costs. Depending on your circumstances, your daily fee may be considerably lower than our standard rate.
