​Vacation Care Services Programs

Redland City Council provides nine Vacation Care services programs which are located on school premises. All school age children 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.

A Director oversees the operation of all services and can be contacted on 3383 7090. Each service has a Coordinator and at least one assistant, depending on the number of children.

 

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.

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, group games, sports, art and craft, and excursions.

 

Vacation Care services provide breakfast and afternoon tea. Parents need to supply a healthy morning tea and lunch for their child.

 

Parents are advised to book early. If there are no vacancies in your preferred service you will be referred to another service. Payment is required to secure booking.

 

Fees are available on request from your service.

Bookings for vacation care will be confirmed on receipt of the booking form.

Child care benefits are available.  Parents using this service can get an application form from the Family Assistance Office on 13 61 50.
