Waitlist Application
Direct debit:
Cottage Kids Early Learning Centre currently uses FatZebra direct debiting systems, through our Owna software provider. Fees are debited weekly, on any day of your choosing, with fortnightly & monthly deductions optional. Please see centre director for more details*
We require a one-week deposit upon the first scheduled deduction. Statements are live and available to be viewed at any time. To secure your placement we require a non-refundable annually $75 administration fee, that goes towards all event and incursions held at the service.
2 Day attendance:
We highly encourage that all children attending Cottage Kids ELC attend the service for a minimum of 2 days. It is our opinion that anything less than this prevents children from settling and forming valuable bonds with their peers and teachers. It will also be difficult for teachers to plan a suitable educational and developmental program.
