Why families love our centres
New activities and environments
When your child attends vacation care, every day is a little bit different, with planned excursions, incursions and centre-based days providing plenty of opportunities for children to engage in play and learning. The school holidays are the perfect opportunity to explore new interests, develop new skills and try new things. While in our care, your child can choose to take part in indoor and outdoor activities such as sport, games, dance, drama, reading, music and crafts, all within a supportive environment.
Friendships and social skills
Vacation care is a great way for your child to make new friends and meet new people outside of school. Forming these bonds creates a strong sense of belonging, bolsters self-esteem and encourages the development of essential social skills.
Engaging minds and bodies
Keeping your child engaged throughout the school holidays can be a challenge for many parents. Vacation care ensures even the most active minds and bodies have plenty of stimulating activities and interactions to keep them entertained and having fun throughout their holiday break. Our qualified educators create safe, respectful relationships with the children in their care, encouraging each child to build upon their existing strengths and interests.
Maintain healthy routines
We know that children thrive with regular routines, but during the school holidays, it can be difficult to maintain a consistent schedule for your family. Vacation care provides a predictable routine that helps your child maintain healthy habits and ensures they feel safe, secure and well looked after.
Flexible and reliable care
Vacation care is available on a flexible and casual basis, so you can plan your schedule knowing that you have reliable care available for your child. Our flexible care options allow your child to enjoy their school holidays while giving you space to keep up with your work, study or home life.
