Dear parent(s)/caregiver(s),
We will be running the program from Monday 4th
July till Monday 18th July. The last Monday will be a Pupil Free
-day.
We have a new system in place for your bookings!
WE
WILL BE OPEN FOR BOOKINGS FOR VACATION CARE ON WEDNESDAY 1ST JUNE
AT 7.00 AM.
THIS
TIME WE WILL ONLY TAKE BOOKINGS BY E-MAIL AND THE BOOKING WILL BE TAKEN ON A
FIRST IN, FIRST SERVED BASIS. E-mail: Avocaschoolcare@gmail.com
Please
use the booking form attached and send this back to us.
(Click on booking form; ‘’open with’’ Google documents.
Write down the days you are interested in; File; download – save as PDF. Send
this PDF back to us / or print, fill in, scan and send back / or there will be
a hard copy available at the Service)
You
will receive a confirmation from your bookings.
Once
you have booked, we can’t cancel your booking anymore and we have to mark your
child as absent and you will pay for the day. Please make sure you are booking
the correct days to avoid disappointment. We will be working with a
waitlist if days are full but you have to realize that we can only confirm your
spot last-minute.
Because of the voucher program (https://www.service.nsw.gov.au/basc-voucher)
we have an influx in the number of children at our Service and unfortunately, it’s
not as easy to attract new educators to work in the Childcare Sector at the
moment.
Due to this situation and the fact that we really want to
make vacation care a lovely experience for every child attending, we will have
to cap the days to 30 or 40 children, depending on the activity for the day.
We also had to increase our Vacation care fees accordingly,
for the time being. We really love that the vouchers are helping out the
parents with their childcare costs, but the use of the vouchers are not giving the
Service any benefit at all. It takes us an extra day/week to get the
administration ready for the Government each week and we are not getting any compensation
for that. If a voucher doesn’t get used up, we will have to repay the Government.
Thank you for your understanding in this matter and we are
looking forward to receiving your e-mails.
Thank you,
Kind regards,
