AKC TERMS AND CONDITIONS & FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
When is AKC available?
Monday to Friday commencing after the first-afternoon session finishes until 5:30pm (except for Monday after Orange Group). Children attending move to the AKC program as soon as their regular session finishes. They are signed out of their regular session and into AKC by a Denzil Don staff member.
Both 3yo and 4yo children attend the same session. Children can attend any session available (i.e., it does not have to follow on from their regular kinder session).
Is it available during the school holidays?
No.
Can I claim the Child Care Subsidy for AKC sessions?
No. Denzil Don Kindergarten is not an approved childcare provider.
How do I register my child?
PERMANENT BOOKINGS: roughly 2 weeks prior to the end of each term, we seek interest in the following term by emailing a permanent booking form to all families.
CASUAL BOOKINGS: by completing an AKC casual booking form. Once registered, your child is registered for the full year. Please note that we must receive an AKC booking form before your child can attend. If you think you may access AKC casually throughout the year, register your child in advance to make it easy to make a booking when needed.
How do I book my child into a casual session?
Either via emailing nataliek@denzildonkinder.org.au OR phoning the centre on 9380 8420. Bookings must be made at least two hours prior to the session you require. When booking, please provide your childs name and the time period you wish to book. If a casual booking is cancelled with less than two hours notice, the session will still invoiced.
What are the fees and how do I pay?
$26/ hour for casual bookings with permanent bookings discounted to $20/ hour.
Term bookings are invoiced upfront and must be paid prior to your child attending their first session. Casual bookings must be paid within three days of invoicing.
Invoices can be paid via credit card (Square) or Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) to Denzil Don Kindergarten. All credit card payments incur a merchant fee of 2.2%.
Do I need to pack extra snacks for AKC?
To sustain your child through a longer day, please pack extra food for them.
We understand that sometimes children will eat all of their lunch prior to the session, regardless of the extra food, OR don't have enough food packed because of a last-minute booking. We provide fresh fruit.
Is there a Late Collection Charge?
In the instance when a child is not collected within the booking time, families will be invoiced at the casual rate and at a minimum of one hour.
If a child is not collected by 5:30pm, a late collection fee of $20/ 10 minutes or part thereof will be invoiced.
