We offer Before and After-School Care on our site for school children up to year 6.

We understand children have been at school all day learning so we ensure your child has fun activities at our After-School Program, offering a range of different games and arts and crafts. We offer afternoon tea and often provide cooking experiences for the children to create their afternoon tea. We always ensure a smooth transition from our service to school and forward any messages between families and teachers. We also offer a vacation care programme every school holiday! Stay tuned for our exciting upcoming programme!

​

Early Learning: After-School Daycare Program

We embrace the philosophy of "Play, Learn, and Grow Together". Our After-School Daycare, affectionately known as "Schoolies", is designed to extend the learning journey of your child in the most engaging and nurturing way possible.

Learning Through Play

We firmly believe in the power of learning through play. That's why our Before and After-School Care programs are crafted to cater to the needs of school children up to Year 6, offering a balanced mix of educational and fun activities. Our Before School Care program not only includes a nutritious breakfast but also a variety of activities to kick-start the day, along with transportation to Ridgewood Beach Primary School ensuring a seamless transition for your child.

Understanding the long day children have at school, our After-School Program is all about unwinding and having fun. We offer a diverse range of activities, from games that spark imagination to arts and crafts that inspire creativity. Afternoon tea is a special time at Schoolies, often featuring cooking experiences where children get hands-on in creating their delightful snacks.

Why Parents and Carers Love Family Day Care

Close Bonds

The intimate setting of our family daycare fosters close bonds between children and educators. These strong, positive relationships are the foundation of our nurturing environment, ensuring that children feel secure, understood, and supported.

​

Home Environment

Our facilities are designed to feel like a home away from home. This familiar and comfortable setting helps children to transition smoothly from their home to our care, reducing anxiety and promoting a sense of belonging.

​

Qualified Educators

Our team of educators is our greatest asset. Each educator is not only qualified but also passionate about early childhood development. Continuous professional development ensures that our team remains at the forefront of educational best practices, providing the best possible care and education for your child.
