Helping Hands News
We are now taking bookings for Vacation Care. Please feel free to contact Jess the Coordinator to help you with the booking process.
Children have enjoyed playing a variety of board games and make believe games over the past fortnight. We have had an increase in children engaging in our Brekkie Bunch of a morning. Different breakfast items have been available as well as cooking experiences. We are always looking for feedback from parents at the service and parents who haven’t yet enrolled regarding the service and how we can best accommodate parents and children. We are now accepting bookings for Vacation Care and for Before and After School Care for next year. This includes 2023 Preps (they can attend from the start of next year for all care types). Mr Riley has now finished up with us and we have Miss Lily and Miss Amy helping until we have our next superstar Educator.
A massive shout out to Dayboro Produce for donating plants for our gardening club. Our trainee gardeners are quite excited to watch their produce grow!
Also, a big thank you to the Dayboro Mens Shed for fixing and repainting our tables. Everything is looking amazing.



A reminder to confirm your bookings are correct via the iparent portal. We also have some lost property still in the black bucket outside the service, so please encourage your child/ren to check this regularly (there are drink bottles, jumpers and hats with no names).
If your child/ren will be absent from a session, please ensure they are marked absent on the iparent portal. This is done under the bookings tab by selecting the date/session and clicking the red x on the right. Alternatively, please send the service a text message on the mobile number below. Failure to notify us of absences in after school care means educators are having to search for children and a no-show fee may be applied to your account. A reminder that bookings with less than 24hrs will need to be made via contacting the service on 0459 991 697.
