Vacation Care program July Holidays 2022 (5th July / 18th July)

 

Dear parent(s)/caregiver(s),

 Please find here our Vacation Care Program and booking form for the upcoming holidays in July 2022.

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,

 Jennefer Cleeren
