Successful applicants will receive a letter

a subsidy claim form.
Subsidy is paid to the child’s playschool, not
to the child’s parent.
The parent will be responsible for paying
their portion of the playschool fees directly to
the playschool. This subsidy does not cover
the cost of additional fees such as volunteer
commitments or fundraising requirements.
