Pre-school’s income

The preschool is a non-profit organisation.  All income is used to benefit the preschool’s children.  Our income comes from four sources:

 

ü      Government Subsidy – This covers about 50% of our costs.

ü      Fees – This covers everyday running costs such as: water, electricity, rates, craft supplies, maintenance, stationery, cleaning, milk, and a proportion of staff wages.  Without fees we would have to close our doors permanently.

ü      Fund Raising – This is essential for purchasing new toys, equipment, books.  It is also vital for building upgrades and general improvements.

ü      Grants – At times the Management Committee is fortunate enough to receive grants from Government, Council or business organisations.  These enable us to purchase new equipment (i.e.  fridges (Coastline Credit Union), Nappy Change Table for special needs children (ANZ Bank)
