Early Learning Centre Fees and Charges
ELC Fees
Early Learning Centre is billed at $35 per day for Part time Kindy. The Long Day Care Kindy is $85 per day, open term time and school holidays. If you enrol your child into our MCC Early Learning Centre Long Day Care Kindy program you may apply to receive a Centrelink Child Care Subsidy (CCS) via your myGov account.
Fees are charged for school terms only as per the Mackay Christian College calendar (public holidays are included). Full fees are payable for absences due to family holidays, illness or days when the MCC Early Learning Centre is closed for statutory holidays. If a student identifies as Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander or both they may also claim QKFS Plus Kindy Support Subsidy.
Deposit
A deposit of $150 is required at the time of application to secure a possible place for your child and will be used as your registration fee. This is to be paid before applications can be processed. If your application is unsuccessful, the full deposit of $150 will be refunded to you. However, if you choose to withdraw your application, this deposit is non-refundable.
Family Assistance
The College policy remains that assistance will be given to anyone who needs help paying fees from time to time and that no student should be denied a quality Christian education because of financial hardship. The message that Mackay Christian College will help people if they have a financial need is a message we know is well-understood inside the College community, and we want to get that message out to the rest of Mackay. Please read about our Family Assistance below for more information.
If you find yourself in financial difficulty during the year, we invite you to complete an application form for Family Assistance.
Please get in touch with the Business Manager and College Accountant at business@mccmky.qld.edu.au, where your application request will be treated with the utmost confidentiality.
