Other fees information
20 hours free ECE
Tuatara Kids is a provider of 20 hours free ECE for 3-6 year old children. Your child is eligible for this on and after his/her 3rd birthday. If you opt in for the 20 hours ECE for your child/ren, you are required to complete an attestation form to qualify for this. For more information, please contact us or visit the Ministry of Education’s website . You may still qualify for the Work and Income childcare subsidy if you need extra hours on top of 20 hours ECE.
Family discount
We offer our families a 10% discount when more than one children enrolled in a centre at the same time. This only applies after your WINZ subsidy or 20 ECE Hours. *T&C’s apply.
Optional charges
This is to cover the cost to allow much higher than the mandatory teacher:child ratio, Storypark etc. This is a voluntary payment. You are welcome to put in an amount that you think is fair, to help us to keep our quality at a high level. Thanks!
Work and Income Subsidy may be available – please enquire.
We encourage you to pay fees by automatic payment or direct credit. Invoice/Statements will be issued at the end of each week. When your child leaves the centre all unpaid fees are to be paid on or before their last day. Any outstanding amount owing over 30 days will be passed onto a debt collection agency. All costs of debt recovery will be added to the account.
Casual Days
All casual days should be given at least 1 week's notice unless it is an emergency. If wanting to take advantage of the remaining 20 ECE hours the existing attestation form must be amended or a new attestation form completed.
