Care through the school holidays
School Holiday Care
More room for play, discovery and everyday experiences.
School holidays can create more time for unhurried play, creativity and everyday experiences in a smaller Family Day Care environment.
About the service
School Holiday Care provides school-age children with home-based care during school holiday periods, subject to educator availability and individual family arrangements.
School holiday periods can provide longer stretches for play, exploration and everyday experiences. What each day looks like depends on the educator, the children in the group and the arrangements agreed with families.
What a particular holiday period looks like depends on the individual educator, the children in the group and the arrangements agreed with your family. Availability during holiday periods varies, so it is worth enquiring early.

Questions parents ask.
School Holiday Care may be available during Queensland school holiday periods, subject to individual educator availability and family care arrangements. Availability differs between educators and between holiday periods, so please enquire for the dates you need.
Experiences vary between educators and holiday periods. Educators provide an educational program that responds to the children in the group, with opportunities for play, everyday learning and community experiences where appropriate.
Community experiences such as visits to local parks and libraries may occur, depending on the educator, the children, the arrangements agreed with families and the circumstances on the day. We do not promise specific excursions.
