When the parents get back the RC from the kindergarten they have initially registered, it shall indicate that that kindergarten concerned will no longer keep the place for the child and the "registration fee" paid to that kindergarten with which the child has been registered will not be refunded.【 The registration fee for half-day place is HK$970 / whole-day place is HK$1,570 】
