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 Alkimos 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.
