VIPs Whilst we treat all our children with an enormous

amount of care and respect, parents of prep students will be pleased to know that when you choose to use any of our services, your child will

be treated as one of our VIPs (Very Important Preps).

We take great pride in supporting your little ones in their transition to Outside School Hours Care

with us, by helping Prep students establish friendships and routines from day one. We adopt a Buddy Program to ensure Preps have an older student to 'buddy with' to help them feel secure

in their new environment.

Before CareChildren arriving to Before Care prior to 8am will be treated to a delicious; but nutritious

breakfast.

Regardless of the unpredictable weather we experience in Victoria, your child will be

comfortable and start the day with the warmth and care they deserve.

After CareAfter a long day at school, children need to

recharge with a tasty afternoon snack. We use family recipes to cook food which suits the

season. All our menus have been approved by Nutrition Australia.

We offer a variety of experiences which take into

account the interests of your child. Don’t be surprised if your child wants to stay just a bit

longer upon pick up… we have loads of fun after school!

Holiday CareIf you are working over the school holidays or want to treat your child to some extra fun, be assured that the Holiday Care we offer is the

best service going around. We line up an amazing variety of excursions and incursions to choose from, engineered to make the holidays

fun and memorable!

We pride ourselves on the safety of each child. Whilst on excursions children are always visible with their bright red vests and come summer, our rashies protect them when they join in our water activities. All of our excursions undergo

rigorous risk assements and include team information and training sessions.

We offer School Holiday Fun for Everyone!
