Our hours and fees

Kidzone is a co-operative centre. Because each family shares in governance and overall management, we are able to provide high quality childcare for a reasonable cost. Co-operative responsibilities are allocated on the basis of interest and expertise and change from time to time. The most important thing about the co-operative is the need for involvement. Involvement can be through participating in the governance group, helping out at events, volunteering skills to specific projects.
