Vacation Care Services Programs
About Us
Redland City Council provides 12 Vacation Care services programs which are located on school premises. All children from prep to Grade 7 are welcome to participate.
Our services aim to enhance the social, emotional, physical and intellectual development of the child by providing opportunities for decision making.
We have a deep commitment to maintaining family bonds and structure and provide elements of the home in our care, such as education.
Staff
A Director oversees the operation of all services and can be contacted on
3383 7080. Each service has a Coordinator and at least one assistant, depending on the number of children.
In addition, the services have a number of support staff including a multicultural and early intervention worker. Administration staff are also employed.
To support professional and personal development staff regularly attend in-service training sessions, seminars, conferences and courses. The service also receives requests from students and volunteers for opportunities to work in the school age care service. Placement of these people is at the discretion of the Director.
What we offer
Vacation Care services operate from 6.30am to 6pm. We provide children with a stimulating and enjoyable program in a caring and relaxed environment. Vacation care offers children a diverse range of activities such as painting, kite flying, movies, sports, games, and day excursions.
Vacation Care services provide breakfast. Parents need to supply morning tea and lunch for their child.
