At Keiki Mindarie Primary OSHC, fees are charged per session rather than per day. This means you will only be billed for the specific sessions your child attends, such as a morning or afternoon session.

These fees are the full session rates and do not include any discounts you may be eligible for through the Child Care Subsidy (CCS).

At Keiki Mindarie Keys Preschool, we provide breakfast each morning, and we ask families to pack a healthy morning tea and lunch for their child in a lunchbox. This helps children learn the routine of bringing and unpacking their own lunchbox and enjoy eating alongside their friends a skill that supports a smooth transition into primary school.

All Keiki services are allergy-aware, following strict food safety and nutrition policies to keep every child safe and well-nourished. We ask that all lunchboxes be nut-free to protect children with allergies.

If your child has specific dietary requirements or allergies, please let your service management team know during orientation so we can ensure the appropriate support and meal planning adjustments are in place.

For our OSHC program, we provide nutritious, thoughtfully planned breakfasts and afternoon teas prepared fresh each day.
