Vacation Care Pack

Parent Information Letter

Dear Amaze families,

Thank you for your interest in our Summer Vacation Care Program. We have some new activities to offer this holiday period and look forward to your child/ren coming along to have some fun with us. This letter has all the necessary information you will need to know regarding vacation care as well as a few housekeeping issues we’d like you to bear in mind when booking your days.

Centre Info: We operate out of the school hall at Crestmead State School and during the school holidays are open from 6:00am – 6:00pm. Amaze is run by a team of dedicated staff members with varying qualifications who are all extremely passionate about working with children. Our program offers a variety of activities and experiences all of which are designed to develop and extend upon their existing skills and abilities, in a high-quality learning environment. Our centre ratios are 1:15 and all staff have current Blue Cards and Senior First Aid Certificates, including Asthma and Anaphylaxis.

Program: This Program, like most, has a combination of excursions and incursions as well as non-excursion days at the centre. Risk assessments for all activities are available for you to look through should you wish; however, the safety of all children is of paramount concern and all necessary precautions will be taken in order to maintain this.

Bookings & Cancellation: To book simply return the booking and permission form by Monday 10th December. You must return the form to secure your child’s place. Please note this is essential as not only does this give staff permission to transport your child to and from the service it also gives consent for your child to participate in programmed activities. Cancellation is at the discretion of the Centre Coordinator, however, in most cases a minimum of 7 days’ notice is required to cancel a booking. If your child is absent and significant notice has not been given you will be charged for the session.

Morning & Afternoon Tea: We provide Morning and Afternoon tea however, Lunch is required every day. If your child has allergies or dietary requirements, please speak to a staff member when booking. Please ensure your Child has a substantial amount of food and snacks as for some an Amaze day is longer than a normal school day. Your child must also have their own drink bottle (clearly labelled), especially on excursion days as cold water may not always be available. If your child does not have a drink bottle the centre may provide them with one at a cost to you. This also goes for HATS. Please make sure your child has a hat!! We are outside a lot and in the interest of sun safety our rule is ‘no hat no play’, and they will be restricted to the shaded areas. Children must also wear appropriate footwear such as Runners or Closed in shoes every day, so please note no thongs or sandals. As you will appreciate, you would not like your child to contract any illness whilst in our care and children who attend must not be suffering from any contagious disease or illness. Please refer to the Staying Healthy in Childcare 5th Edition located at our sign in desk for further information. Any items brought will be at the child’s own risk. DVD/USB movies are welcome but must be rated G/PG only. Mobile phones, DS’s, Computer games and other media devices are banned unless stated on the program. Any devices brought will be confiscated and returned at the end of the day. Finally, Amaze Education has a zero tolerance ‘No Bullying’ policy, please refer to your behaviour agreement and our behaviour policy to review centre expectations, as restrictions and refusal may result in severe cases.

Fees: Vacation care fees are either $43.50, $53.50 or $57.50 per day and depending on activity and where necessary are inclusive of incursion and excursion costs. Child Care Subsidy may assist with the costs of Vacation Care, if CCS is not active please contact the Family Assistance Office on 136150. Not registering for CCS for vacation care will result in full fees per child per day being charged. Please be aware that you may need to increase your hours to 60 for a five-day booking.

Please note that everyday children MUST have hats, lunch unless stated otherwise below, drink bottles, closed in shoes and sun smart clothing. No singlets, thongs or sandals. The centre will also

provide them with sunscreen; if you do not wish for them to be given sunscreen then you must provide your own and/or sign a waiver.
