Sessions & Fees

Enrolment into Miro House Kindergarten is based on an interest in and commitment to your child receiving a Steiner/Waldorf education.  The first step in the process is to join one of our scheduled Enquiry Meetings in order to explore what this looks like at our centre, and for you to bring any questions you may have.

We accept children from 2 years old, nearing the age of 3. If your child is currently younger than our enrolment age, we welcome you to put your child on our Waiting List once you have had your initial Enquiry Meeting.

Once a child’s enrolment is confirmed, all booked sessions will be charged one week in advance, regardless of whether a child attends or not.  Invoices will be emailed weekly.

We require 2 weeks notice of a child’s leaving date, fees are payable during this period.

We stand for a high quality, comprehensive education service based on Steiner/Waldorf Principals, and Te Whāriki Framework, with a child centred focus.  We are confident in the value this represents.  The fees we charge allow us to sustain and grow our practice with consistency of quality.  Furthermore, the payment from you honours and respects the service provided from us to you.
