The following represents the Centre’s policy regarding fees:
- Fees are to be paid weekly in advance.
- Fees paid late will incur a 10% penalty.
- Fees are charged for statutory, school holidays and sick days.
- Holding Fee. Where a child is to be absent from the centre for a period of 2 weeks or more a holding fee of 50% of the child’s normal weekly fee is payable.
- Bear Park will be closed over the Christmas period and you will be notified annually of these dates. Fees are not charged for this time.
- Every year Centre fees are reviewed in February and adjustments are applicable from the 1st of April. Parents are notified of adjustments in March.
- If you are paying with a company, trust account, or surname different from your child’s please print your child’s name or reference number on the back of the cheque.
- If you are paying with cash please place in a clearly labeled envelope and hand directly to Centre Supervisor or Centre Administrator. This will be signed and receipted for you.
- There is a $50.00 enrolment bond when enrolling your child to secure their position. If you are planning to withdraw your child from Bear Park you must give 4 weeks written notification to the supervisor. Should the required 4 weeks notice not be given the equivalent of 4 weeks fees will still be charged. Your enrolment bond will be deducted off your final account if the correct notification procedure has been followed.
- If your child’s position becomes available at Bear Park and you do not wish to accept it – your enrolment bond is non- refundable.
- Late fees. For children who are picked up after the sessions conclusion, their parents will incur a late fee penalty that is payable directly to the staff member on duty. They will issue you with a late fee slip, which denotes the amount owing.
- All costs in relation to the collection of overdue accounts will be added to your account.
- Change of sessions. If you wish to change your child’s enrolled sessions of attendance, you must fill out the appropriate “change of session” form and this request will be auctioned at the start of the following month depending on availability.
