It's time to play, create, dream and enjoy.
Personalized & Exciting - After School Care
Make After School Time Count (Not Just Babysitting!)
School may finish at 3pm, but life goes on, and we ensure your child is well-loved and cared for. Unlike most other places, we get to know your child's favorite activities, foods, and passions, making sure their routine caters to who they are and what they like. After school care should be where you're having fun, not somewhere you're waiting for mum to pick you up. We use after-school care to bring joy to your child's life.
Canberra's Favourite After School Care
There's no reason to have 'babysitting' style after school care in Canberra anymore. We're here to make it worthwhile. Every minute counts when you're little, right?
Anxious or Neurodiverse? All Good - Be Well Cared For
We understand that some of our anxious and neurodivergent participants need extra routine or something specific each day, and we'll gladly make it happen.
We want our neurodiverse young people to feel welcome, heard, and cared for, unlike some mainstream schools. Our team includes neurodiverse individuals who know first-hand what it takes to provide the right support.
Thoughtful Engagement
We mould your child's afternoon experiences around what they love.
Our approach is proactive, ensuring each afternoon is enriching and enjoyable.
"We're different in that we use this time to build skills. We've seen it done badly by other places. This isn't babysitting. This is a time to reach goals - slowly work towards our goals." - Aria

Purposeful Play - After School Care, Specific To Your Child's NDIS Goals
Social Interaction:
People are fun. After-school is a time to learn to enjoy other people.
Developing social skills through group activities and games that require teamwork, communication, and turn-taking.
Emotional Regulation:
Life can be tricky - especially after a big day of school - so these are skills worth learning.
Learning techniques to recognize and manage emotions through mindfulness exercises, relaxation techniques, and guided discussions.
Independent Living Skills - A Big Thing For NDIS After School Care:
Getting the hang of day to day life is something that takes time and this is after-school time well-spent.
Building skills for daily living such as dressing, personal hygiene, and basic household chores (e.g., setting the table, making a bed).
Learning Support:
School might feel like a struggle all day long. We can take that stuck feeling out of learning.
Providing assistance with homework or academic projects tailored to each child's learning style and pace.
Physical Coordination:
Playing games outside - whether it's running around or throwing and catching a ball.
Improving gross and fine motor skills through activities like yoga, dance, or sports tailored to the child’s abilities and interests.
