3. We do not hit, kick, punch or swear
4. We do not touch other people's property without permission

We encourage acceptable behaviour with positive guidance and reinforcement. Unacceptable behaviour can usually be dealt by staff and occasionally by having a word with parents.

AGE GROUPS
Our qualified staff has the skills to entertain and satify all age groups with two programs offered: 5 to 8 years and the 9 PLUS. Our service follows the NQF (National Quality Framework): "My time, our place" for Australian school aged children.

A refillable drink bottle must COMFORTABLE and SENSITIVE CLOTHING is encouraged, especially on excursion days. HATS are essential and so are CLOSED IN SHOES.

ACTIVITIES
We have outdoor activities as part of everyday routine as well as sometimes-messy-craft. The craft activities are encouraged, although are not compulsory. Children are able to move freely from one activity to another. At times throughout the day we will join in for group games or activities indoors and out.

VACATION CARE PROGRAM
Know what's happening each day or the next. Vacation care program is sent out as a newsletter, displayed at the centre entrance and posted onto our website blog section. This will keep you up to date with the days craft, indoor and outdoor activities, local excursions and special days approaching.

QUIET TIME
A quiet time helps to recharge and restimulate growing bodies. Children learn to transform and reflect in a relaxing atmosphere. Quiet time does not have to mean sleep. At times we engage the children in soothing relaxation or children's yoga, or other calming activities. Some children may choose to play a quiet game or watch a movie.
