Afternoon care

afternoon care

The school offers a daily afternoon care program from 12pm to 3pm for children who are not yet in extended day (Kindergarten year). It is available for one to three afternoons per week per child. There is an additional charge for this program and bookings are taken on a term basis.

Children may enter the afternoon care program after one term's attendance at the school, after consultation with the Directress.

In an emergency, a child may be accommodated on a casual basis in afternoon care if one day's notice is given.

The children bring their own lunch and after lunch and a short rest they work on construction toys, puzzles, art, craft and other similar activities. A short outside play and a group session conclude the afternoon.
