Rules for payment
Gothenburg Region
The International Preschool is funded by the local government “MaxTaxa” system. The fee is paid during 11 months of the year and July is free of charge. Vacation, public holidays or other time off does not affect the fee. The fee is based on the gross income of the household per month, the age of the child-children, and how many children in the family hold a position in preschool.
You pay the fee on the same invoice regardless of how many children you have within the preschool. The bill is mailed on the 10th with a due date on the 25th of the month.
In such cases where the child divides his/her time between parents, both have responsibility for the fees. The fee may in this case be based on the joint income of both households. The joint fees may however, not exceed the maximum rates for a position. Both parents pay half fee depending on their household income.
For joint living conditions, the fee is based on both incomes, regardless of whether the child is mutual or not.
If you have two or three children in the preschool, a full fee is charged only for the youngest child. For the second and third child in the family, you pay a sibling fee. As of the fourth child, no fee is charged.
Changes regarding income and family conditions that affect the fee should be reported as soon as they are known. The preschool has the right to charge an extra amount if the actual incomes are higher than those the fee was based on. In such a case where a parent fails to produce an income statement upon request, the fee will be based on a gross income corresponding to the maximum income rate.
For planned closing days (teacher study days etc.), up to four times per school year, regular fees apply with no deduction.
The fee is not affected by the child’s short-term periods of sickness.
Parents who are seeking employment may be required to utilize the position in preschool only 15 hours per week.
Children aged 1-5 years old with a guardian who is on parental leave with younger siblings have a right to a position for three hours per day, that is, 15 hours per week in preschool or daycare.
Should you leave us, the resignation time is two months. The fee should be paid during the time of resignation whether or not the position is being utilized. When moving from the Gothenburg region, the position may be kept for a maximum of two months.
