3,2,1......HOLIDAYS!!!!

And what a great first day of the Vacation-care we've had... Who could ever imagine during the weekend that the rain would disappear?

We needed dry weather for our Beach- and amazing race day on Monday and we couldn't be happier with the sunshine and blue skies we've got!

The weatherforecast is looking good for the rest of the week as well. Couldn't be better!

Today we are having a day of coaching by a professional tennis coach on the grounds of Copa tennis courts. They already enjoyed their sausage sandwich and are still showing off their tennis-skills at the moment I'm writing this. 

The grounds in our area are wet and muddy and we'll hope it will dry up soon. In the mean-time, when it's still too wet to play on the grounds, we will take the children to the COLA or the school-ball court to have a play. 

Have you seen our new garden yet? It's looking great and finishes off the building much more. We have some rubber tiles ready to go in, but we have to wait until everything is dry.

The children made little features to put in the garden, so please have a closer look once you are here :-)

Our Policies

Have you ever looked at our policies?

Absence

Attention ALL parents !!!

If your child has gone home from school sick, or is absent on the day he/she is booked into the Centre, it is absolutely crucial that you advise our staff about their absence!

If we are NOT notified it puts a huge amount of stress on staff while they are looking for your child.

By the time we follow through with our policy of a missing child, it becomes very time-costly and puts the afternoon out of routine. It is not just staff that are affected by this but ALL children have to wait for the staff to finish their procedures.

Our policies are mentioning a $5 non-notification fee that may be charged daily if the Centre Staff are not informed of the absence - for After School Care this needs to be prior to 2.30 pm (phonenumber: 02-43826601 or 04-81136641)

Thanks for your understanding in this matter...
