CARE INFORMATION
Before School Care
Our before school sessions help children ease into the day with a calm and positive start. Children can enjoy breakfast, quiet activities, games, or creative play before heading off to school.
Before school care provides families with flexible morning support while giving children time to settle in, connect with friends, and prepare for the school day ahead.
After School Care
After a full day at school, children can relax and enjoy a range of activities designed to suit their interests and energy levels.
Our after school program includes both structured and unstructured activities such as:
-
Arts and crafts
-
Sports and outdoor play
-
Board games and group activities
-
Reading and quiet play
-
A dedicated homework area
Children are encouraged to choose activities that interest them, helping build independence, creativity, and social connections. Afternoon tea is provided during the session so children can recharge after their school day.
