At times, Shayoka’s has been posed this question. As to why we charge the way we do. Yes. A couple people have expressed that our fees are little more than they expected. But there is “more to it than meets the eye”. This quote applies well here. Most people are unaware what art products and materials should be bought for the different art classes at Shayoka’s. Also, parents don’t like visiting Dollar shops to buy art products. Therefore, it is our responsibility to stock all the required materials for the different age groups, batches, and levels.
Also, parents who are looking to engage their children for some classes and just kill some time, then the fees may seem like a little more. It is very important to look beyond this being a hobby class. Look at it as honing talents, skill, a learning that helps augment the overall growth and development of the child and who knows, this could also be your child’s future tomorrow!
Our fees are determined based on these costs incurred:
- Stocking branded, high-quality materials and products
- Insurance costs
- Working as a full-fledged registered business to foster talents
- Registered as a creative kids provider in NSW with vouchers
- Costs incurred for different regulations to be adhered to
- Prescribed Australian safety standards applied to the furniture, materials and more
And since we are registered, and many costs to run the business are incurred, our fees structure is determined factoring in all these aspects.
