The Centre is open for a maximum of 49 weeks per year, from 7.30am - 5.45pm. If your working hours necessitate that your child must be at the Centre until late, we ask that you arrive no later than 5.40pm in order to give you time to collect your child’s belongings and talk to staff regarding your child’s day.


PUBLIC HOLIDAYS
Maryland Care & Early Education Centre is closed on ALL gazetted Public Holidays. This does not include regional holidays such as show day holiday, bank holiday.

Fees are not payable on Public Holidays. If your child’s day happens to be a public holiday, that day of care cannot be rescheduled as we are a permanent place centre.


OCCASIONAL CARE
Occasional Care is available to children who are enrolled at the centre only. These days are available only if a parent has notified the centre about their child’s absence with prior notice or on the morning of their absence. You may leave your name with the office if you are interested in occasional care for a day. The office will contact you if a place becomes available. You may contact the centre to enquire about occasional care; however it may not be available when you require it.

When occasional care is available and utilised, the daily fee is $25.00. This will be included on your fortnightly account statement.

THE OFFICE
The Director is available to assist you on Monday, Tuesday & Wednesdays with enrolment enquiries. You may make an appointment to discuss any concerns you have about your child or the centre. Generally the Director is available between 8.30am and 5pm.

The Director teaches in the Cooinda room on Thursday and Friday, and therefore is unavailable to discuss matters as they must maintain child/staff ratio as a DoCS regulation, and out of fairness to the children being taught.

Please note: The Director does not have access to fee information.

For any queries you have relating to fees, please contact the office on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday or Friday and speak with the Administration Assistant between 8.30am to 3.00pm.
