Our Vacation Care program follows a daily itinerary just like a holiday kids club offering a number of visitors and special equipment every session.
We run multiple activities daily and all children are encouraged to complete and take home their creations. Children participate in multiple challenges, sports and games.
We always have a key activity or focus of the day.
The program is built from children's and families' interests, you will find many of your suggestions from the last school holidays programmed for April.
Our Excursions include entry fees into the various venues and Private Coach Hire, including seatbelts and Air Conditioning. During Excursions, our Ratio of Staff to Children is also increased due to being off-site.
Daily Cost includes all Visitors and Special Equipment $87.50
Excursion $98.00 - $110 (depending on the cost of entry / transport and length of time on excursion)
Excursion Vest $15 (Only required if booking into excursion / Vest is yours to keep for future excursions )
If booking into care for excursions, you must purchase an Excursion Vest. This Vest is yours to keep and will be required for all future Excursions. Our Vests will include the Service Name and Mobile Number printed clearly and are used to assist educators in locating and maintaining a high level of supervision.
