Before and After School Care
We support busy families with high quality care, before and after school. Our programs are suitable for children from five to 12 years old and will complement your child's school learning through a fun mix of educational activities.
Typical activities include arts and crafts, board games and puzzles, cooking, dance and drama, and sport and ball games. Your child will also get the opportunity to socialise and make new friends with other children.
Plus, we'll provide a healthy breakfast before school and delicious snacks after school.
We also offer a Pupil Free Day program throughout the school year, depending on booking numbers.
School Holiday Program
Our Cobram 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 learning cool skateboarding tricks, celebrating the holidays at our fun-filled parties, or getting creative during art and craft activities. We've even taken children on exciting cinema excursions.
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 Before and After School Care 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. 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. |
