More about our Holiday Program
Our Holiday Program is run in half-day sessions:
MORNING SESSION
9:00am to 12:30pm
AFTERNOON SESSION
1:30pm to 5:00pm
IS EACH SESSION DIFFERENT?
Every half-day(session) is different, so you can attend every session without repetition.
HOW MANY ACTIVITIES CAN I CHOOSE IN EACH SESSION?
Each half-day you will choose the one activity where you'd like to spend 70% of your time during that half-day session.
As well as your main activity, children can experience at least one or two other activities during the day, as long as spots are available in other activities.
We do monitor kids individually, so if your child isn't as engaged in their primary activity as we hoped, they may get additional variety in the day. Conversely, if they are happily obsessed, they may remain with a single activity the whole day!
ATTENDING HALF-DAY?
Don’t forget your water bottle and a snack! We will have a snack break during our AM and PM sessions.
ATTENDING A FULL-DAY?
Children attending full-day sessions will be supervised during lunchtime (12.30pm-1.30pm).
Don’t forget to bring your own lunchbox and water bottle, but no nuts, please.
NEED EXTENDED CARE?
Extended care is available by appointment only, from 8:30am - 5:30pm (+$20 per half-day).
Before 8:30am or after 5:30pm a $20.00 fee per 15 minutes, or part thereof, will apply.
Extended care fee of $20.00 will be automatically debited in case of late pick up from 5:15pm - 5:30pm.
CAN I CLAIM GOVERNMENT REBATES?
No, we are not registered child care providers, government CCB rebates do not apply to our programs.
