Cranbourne North Holiday Program and OSHC

Our Before School Care and After School Care programs are here to support Cranbourne North families outside of school hours. Suitable for children between five and 12 years, our programs are a great way to complement your child's school learning.

We have a range of fun activities for your child to get involved in – from arts and crafts to sport and ball games! Our friendly Educators can even help your child with their homework. Plus, your child will be able to socialise with other children and make new friendships.

We provide a nutritious breakfast to set your child up for the day ahead, as well as healthy and delicious afternoon snacks after a busy day at school.

We also offer a Pupil Free Day program throughout the school year, 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 celebrating the holidays at our pizza party, experiencing our indoor camping adventure – or learning all about building and engineering during a visit from construction experts. We've even taken children bowling in Chadstone and to watch the latest blockbuster at Village Cinemas Fountain Gate.

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 how little you could pay if you qualify for the maximum CCS percentage (90%) as provided by the Federal Government. We've calculated this price 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.

Learn more about Child Care Subsidy or visit the Service Australia website for more information. We also recommend using this CCS calculator to estimate your new subsidy payments.
