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.

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.
