Before and After School Care
Our programs are here to support busy Cranbourne families before and after school. Suitable for children between five and 12 years old, our programs are a great way for your child to socialise and make new friends.
We have a range of fun activities for your child to get involved in – from arts and crafts to sport and ball games. We can even help your child get ahead with their homework. Whatever sparks their interest, our qualified and friendly Educators will make sure they have an amazing start and end to their day.
We provide a healthy and delicious breakfast in the morning and nutritious snacks after school, so you have one less thing to worry about!
We also offer additional programs including Early Finish Wednesday and Pupil Free Day activities, depending on booking numbers.
School Holiday Program
Our Cranbourne 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 unleashing your imagination during our dress up day, learning all about the amazing world of creepy creatures, or joining our very own circus. We've even taken children on fun excursions to Chesterfield Farm and Bounce Keysborough.
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. |
