What do parents say?
"Many thanks for yet another successful school holidays for our boys @ Bella Vista. Again, you provided a brilliant caring service to our boys. They had a blast and asked to come back again. Your team greeted us with smiling faces, introduced themselves and made the boys & myself feel welcome. Thank you and we will see you in the summer school holidays."
"Thank you so much for providing a fun filled 2 days at Vacation Care (VC) for our Sons. It was the first time they said that they would be happy to return. The girls working those days were very attentive and I could see their enthusiasm (a first for VC for us). Thank you. They loved the excursion to The Powerhouse Museum and baking cup cakes! It was also so lovely for the boys and the other children to have all that open space to play in. I do hope you will be providing VC during the summer school holidays, if you have a mailing list for it could you please add me to it. Hope to see you then."
"The first thing my daughter said to me was "When can we go back?"
"She adores the staff, and every single morning she's jumped out of the car and run inside the centre before I can even get my car turned off. She told me she thought it was really great the way they get to play actual, planned activities and go on excursions".
"They totally enjoyed the variety of experiences and are keen to go back next time."
"One of the things she loves about the Balance! program is they get to go out and play organised games."
"Love the philosophy, love the professionalism, love the time out for me knowing that my children are well looked after".
"They loved it. They couldn't wait to come back"
"What a great holiday activity for kids"
"Very efficiently run, well organised, great website, prompt and friendly replies to my emails - thank you!"
"Congratulations on a well run and fun kids holiday program. My daughter begged me this morning to pre-register her for the next school holidays at Balance!"
SCHOOL HOLIDAY FUN
Our excellent venues have a large room with an enclosed secure, partially shaded, outdoor play area. They are right next to the ovals, perfect for fitness activities.
What activities
-
Fitness (2 different sports per day)
-
Health (different each day)
-
Craft (different each day)
Each week of Vacation Care has a new program, which is planned in advance. Indoor activities are balanced with outdoor activities and include arts and crafts, music and drama. Activities are all supervised and are either structured or unstructured, allowing the children some degree of choice.
An excursion is planned every Tuesday morning (for Bella Vista) for which parental permission is obtained. When planning activities and excursions, the age and abilities of the children are taken into account. Likewise, the destination and length of the excursion and the method of transport are considered. All details of the excursions are published for parents/guardians/care givers with full details of destination, times of departure and return.
What to bring/wear
Children need to bring their own drinks, morning tea, lunch and afternoon tea. The children will also need to bring jumpers/jacket (depending on the weather) and a hat. The Centre provides sunscreen and children will need a hat in order to be allowed to play outdoors. Comfortable clothing and suitable footwear should be worn. Please don’t come in your best clothes.
Morning tea, afternoon tea, drinks and lunch, clearly labelled with your child’s name
Clothes appropriate for fitness activity and craft
Extra underpants/shorts/pants/jacket/jumper which are clearly labelled with your child’s name
