Child care and early learning for Northmead families

Our centre at 52 Moxhams Road, Northmead 2152 is a local choice for Northmead families who want a kindergarten-style preschool year with a full working day: open Mon–Fri 8:00 AM – 5:00 PM, so drop-off and pick-up fit around work. It is also easy to reach from Baulkham Hills, Castle Hill, Parramatta and Winston Hills.

Because the centre is built for 3 to 5 year-olds only, the rooms, routines and educators are all aimed at the preschool years, and the program is planned around the move to school.

School readiness program in Northmead

Our Northmead school readiness program is play-based and follows the Early Years Learning Framework, the national curriculum for early childhood. Children build the skills that make the first term of school easier, through play and routine rather than drills and worksheets.

  • Literacy — stories, conversation, Pre-Lit and Reading Eggs.
  • Numeracy & STEM — counting, patterns and hands-on problem solving.
  • Independence — self-care, routine and confidence in a group.
  • Social & emotional — sharing, listening and making friends.

Read more about our approach on the Early Years Learning Framework page, or see preschool, day care and OSHC compared in our long day care vs preschool guide.

Fees, Child Care Subsidy & Start Strong

Most families do not pay the advertised daily fee. Preschool at our Northmead centre is $125 a day for 3 – 5 years, 8am – 5pm, before subsidy. What you actually pay is the gap between that fee and your Child Care Subsidy.

  • Families earning up to $88,520 receive the maximum 90% Child Care Subsidy, paid directly to the service. A family on the maximum rate pays about $12.50 a day.
  • NSW Start Strong is a major saving for preschool-age children — Jolly Frog is funded at the maximum rate, worth up to $2,563 a year for children aged 4 and above and $769 for 3 year-olds in 2026.

Fees

At Jolly Frog Kindergarten, we keep our fees clear and transparent.

As an approved Child Care Subsidy (CCS) provider, eligible families receive government assistance to reduce their fees. CCS is paid directly to the service, and families pay the remaining gap.

Our daily fees, before subsidy:

  • 3 – 5 years: $125 a day (8am – 5pm)

We also offer NSW Start Strong fee relief for eligible children. Jolly Frog is funded at the maximum rate, so in 2026 it is worth:

  • Children aged 4 and above: up to $2,563 a year
  • 3-year-olds: up to $769 a year

This funding is applied directly to your fees. See how CCS and Start Strong combine on our fees and subsidy page.

Please ensure your CCS is confirmed through MyGov before starting.
