If your child is absent for three weeks, enrolment is automatically cancelled unless we have been notified and in agreement with the prolonged absence. Note: if a child does not attend the centre for 21 consecutive days then all funding from the Ministry of Education ends and full centre fees (including Ministry portion) will be charged to you for continued absence.

I confirm that my child is not enrolled at any other centre to receive the ECE funding that I claim at The Forest. I agree to advise The Forest ECE of any changes to my enrolment that may affect my eligibility for receiving free ECE. *
