Refundable Participation Levy ($100):
The participation of parents/guardians is encouraged by the service and can help to keep costs more affordable.  However not all families are able to assist at the service. A refundable levy system has been introduced by the service and replaces voluntary labour with paid labour to enhance the children’s environment.

Four Working Bees per year and additional fundraising events are held to perform general maintenance to improve service’s facilities.  The $100 Participation Levy will be deducted from term 4 fees following the attendance at the working bee or fundraising event and fee payments are up to date.

Playground Levy ($25):
A concept plan has been developed for Bentleigh East Kindergarten to enhance the outdoor playground area. In order to achieve enhancements a non-refundable $25 per term playground levy is collected. Please advise if either of these levies cause financial hardship.
