Before and After School Care

If you're looking for high quality care for your child before and after school, we're here to support you. Our programs are suitable for children from five to 12 years of age and are a great way to complement your child's learning.

We offer a range of fun and educational activities, including arts and crafts, dancing and drama, gardening and cooking, and sport and ball games. Our friendly Educators will make sure your child feels welcome and supported, so that they have a great start and end to their day.

We provide a healthy and delicious breakfast too, as well as nutritious after school snacks.

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 friends along the way.

We offer a mix 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 anything from learning karate to celebrating the holidays at our silent disco. We run regular excursions too. In the past, we've embarked on rock climbing adventures and visited museums. We've even had a circus visit us!

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.
