First week of Vacation care was done and the kids had a fantastic time. We are very much looking forward to bringing you week two.
On Monday we danced like Moana. Our special visitor from Tahiti
shared stories and music from her polynesian culture. The children also enjoyed making hats and learning traditional dances.
Our lego masters day was a huge hit. The children loved the challenges Caitlin had for them. They had so much fun they spent the entire afternoon playing and creating under the trees in the shade.
We spent Wednesday getting wet and wild, with Zac from Water Wars. They all had an awesome time getting thoroughly soaked and enjoying some great water games and activities.
On Thursday we brought our creative side to OOSH. Thank you to our educator Tallulah for the work she put into engaging the children and teaching them. The artwork they have made is fantastic and a great start redecorating the centre after Christmas.
We have had quite a few parents asking to make changes to days booked over the past week. Our policy states that we don’t offer swaps, refunds or changes over Vacation Care. When signing your booking form you are agreeing to the terms and conditions. We are able to add an extra day if we have the space available.
When you make a booking we staff according to government regulations. If you decide your child will not attend it puts our ratio out, often causing staff to work a shorter shift. We also purchase according to the number of children expected. When we have an incursion we are required to pay for the number of children we have on the roll. When days are swapped or children don’t turn up, we still need to pay for their attendance.
Avalon OOSH is a not for profit service and while we try to accommodate when there are mitigating circumstances we cannot chop and change children around constantly.
Thank you for your understanding.
We are looking forward to another week full of fun activities for your kids to enjoy. Our walk to Dunbar Park for our Picnic in the Park outing, will of course be subject to weather. If we are unable to go to the park we will make alternative arrangements for the day at OOSH.
