Fee
At Kinderen we do not believe in limiting family’s choices, so we encourage you to bring your child in for whatever hours suit you, there is no minimum requirement for the week or on any given day. We do receive government funding and based on how that works, we offer both hourly and daily fees in both centres. We have WINZ and family discounts available.

Kinderen Preschool ECE 20 hours for 3-6 years
The ECE 20 hours funding we receive from the Ministry of Education pays for the minimum requirements to be met and anything over the minimum should be considered as an optional charge, which parents are required to agree to pay for.
We have calculated our costs over the year and divided it out to a weekly cost. As such, this is an amount that doesn’t change, regardless of whether your child is absent.
