Guide for use:
Fees charged are usually based on the number of hours of a preschool program a child is enrolled to receive.
If fees are charged on a per day, per term or per year basis, the pro-rata equivalent weekly fee should be derived by taking into account the days per week, weeks per term and/or weeks per year of the preschool program the child has enrolled to receive.
If no fees are payable for a child to attend the preschool program record 0.
Some preschool programs, particularly those offered at government preschools have no tuition fees. However, parents are encouraged to make a voluntary contribution to assist with the cost of running the preschool program. These voluntary contributions should be excluded, as should donations or additional charges for service components, such as nappy supplies, meals or transportation.
Only include the fees charged for the child to attend the preschool program. Fees charged for the child to attend other programs with the service provider, such as out school hours care, should be excluded.
