As Montessori Farmhouse is a parent-run school, parents enrolling their children are expected to assist with the maintenance and running of the school. This includes participating in working bees, clean-up sessions, fund-raising or community events, and taking a place on the school council at some point. This level of participation keeps fees down and, more importantly, builds a school in which children and parents alike take much pride. There is an annual working bee levy of $320 if families are unable to participate in a minimum of 2 out of 5 working bees or 16 hours of volunteered time.

Financial gifts or donations can be made to the Farmhouse Montessori School Gift Fund. These may be made at any time over the period of your child's attendance and are tax deductible. This is optional but we would encourage parents to consider this donation as it will help to place the school in a stronger financial position.

On enrolment an enrolment fee is required which is non – refundabel. This enrolment fee must be paid before the child can begin.

It is an important aspect of a Montessori classroom that children complete a cycle, one year for 2-3 year olds, and three years for 3-6 year olds. Fees are based on all children staying for a full cycle. The Enrolment fee compensates the school for any financial loss incurred by the early and unexpected withdrawal of a child.
