Before and After School Care
Our Before School Care and After School Care programs are here to support busy families outside of school hours. Suitable for children between five and 12 years old, our programs include a variety of fun activities to support your child's learning.
Your child could get involved in arts and crafts, board games and puzzles, cooking and expressive arts, or sport and ball games. We'll make your child feel welcome and supported so that they can have a great start and end to their day.
We provide a healthy and delicious breakfast to set your child up for the day ahead, as well as nutritious snacks after school.
We also offer a Pupil Free Day program throughout the school year, depending on booking numbers.

School Holiday Program
Our holiday program provides an opportunity for your child to learn from new experiences through a fun mix of activities, while making new friends along the way.
We offer a wide variety of interest-based in-house activities, themed incursions and exciting excursions. Our holiday programs are run by experienced Educators who help your child become more confident and independent.
Activities could include a visit from a petting zoo or partying in your pyjamas! In the past, we've even run exciting excursions to places like Twisted Science in Moorabin and Funtopia in Maribyrnong.
Keep an eye out for our upcoming program – we'll share the schedule on this page about four weeks before the school holidays start.

Child Care Subsidy (CCS)
|
Our programs qualify for the Federal Government's Child Care Subsidy (CCS). CCS helps eligible families access approved and registered child care providers by partially subsidising the cost of daily fees. The 'Fee' price listed in the table above is the full permanent or casual daily fee for each program without any CCS entitlements. *The 'You pay as little as' price is an example of the out of pocket fee paid by families who qualify for the maximum CCS percentage (90%). The fees above are calculated at 85% subsidy to allow for the 5% withheld by Services Australia to reduce the chances of an overpayment. When our holiday programs are open for bookings, you'll be able to see the prices for each activity on this page. These prices are the daily price and do not include any CCS you may be entitled to, which could significantly reduce your out of pocket expense. Refer to the Government website for more information about CCS funding and your eligibility. We also recommend using this CCS calculator to estimate your new subsidy payments. Our customer service and onsite teams are happy to assist you with any queries you have regarding this funding and to help you navigate the system. |
