Occasional Care

About

Occasional Care is a program that offers short periods of care for children from 2 years of age up to preschool starting age. Sessions are booked on an occasional basis and only one session can be booked at a time. Future bookings are made when the child attends the session that they are booked for.

The Occasional Care program is integrated with the kindergarten program. Children attending this program will be accessing the same learning experiences as the kindergarten children.
