Parent Information Letter
Dear Amaze families,
Thank you for your interest in our April 2021 Vacation Care Program. We have some great activities to offer this holiday period and look
forward to your child/ren coming along to have some fun with us. This letter has all the necessary information you will need to know
regarding vacation care as well as a few housekeeping issues we would like you to bear in mind when booking your days.
Centre Info: We operate out of the C3 Church on Bonogin Rd and during the School Holidays are open from 6:00am – 6:00pm. Amaze is run by
a team of dedicated staff members with varying qualifications who are all extremely passionate about working with children. Our program
offers a variety of activities and experiences all of which are designed to develop and extend upon their existing skills and abilities, in a high-
quality learning environment. Our centre ratios are 1:15 for all children and all staff have current Blue Cards and Senior First Aid Certificates,
including Asthma and Anaphylaxis.
Program: This Program includes incursions as well as excursions. Risk assessments for all activities are available for you to look through should
you wish however the safety of all children is of paramount concern and all necessary precautions will be taken in order to maintain this.
Bookings & Cancellation: To book simply return the booking and permission form by Friday 26th March. You must return the form to secure
your child’s place. Please note this is essential as not only does this give staff permission to transport your child to and from the service it also
gives consent for your child to participate in programmed activities. Cancellation is at the discretion of the Director; however, in most cases a
minimum of 7 days’ notice is required to cancel a booking. If your child is absent and notice has not been given you will be liable for fees.
Activities: We hope everyone is excited to come along and join us for a great fun time. We have some wonderful incursions and excursions lined up
including a trip to Timezone in Coolangatta, David Fleay’s Wildlife Park, STAGE 2 Magic Workshop, Bubble Soccer, Laser Tag and much, much more,
Compulsory: Below is a list of items that your child will be required to bring on certain days to participate in the planned activities:
Please note that every day children MUST have hats, drink bottles, closed in shoes and sun smart clothing. No singlets, thongs or
sandals. The centre will also provide them with sunscreen; if you do not wish for them to be given sunscreen then you must provide your
own and/or sign a waiver.
Amaze provides morning and afternoon tea; however, popcorn will be provided on movie day and a sausage sizzle will be provided on Monday 12th
at the park. Please ensure your child has a substantial amount of food and snacks as for some, an Amaze day is longer than a normal school day. Your
child must also have their own drink bottle (clearly labelled), especially on excursion days as cold water may not always be available. If your child
does not have a drink bottle, the centre may provide them with one at a cost to you. This also goes for HATS. Please make sure your child has a hat!!
We are outside a lot and in the interest of sun safety our rule is ‘no hat no play’, they will be restricted to the shaded areas. Children must also wear
appropriate footwear such as Runners or Closed in shoes every day, the program is not only active and sporty, but we move constantly from inside to
the outside, and out on excursions so please note no thongs or sandals. As you will appreciate, you would not like your child to contract any illness
whilst in our care and for this reason children who attend must not be suffering from any contagious disease or illness. Please refer to the Staying
Healthy in Childcare 5th Edition for further information. Any items brought will be at the child’s own risk. Unfortunately, Mobile phones, DS’s,
Computer games and other media devices are banned unless stated on the program. Any devices brought will be confiscated and returned at the
end of the day. Finally, Amaze Education has a zero tolerance ‘No Bullying’ policy, please refer to your behaviour agreement and our behaviour policy
to review centre expectations, as restrictions and refusal may result in severe cases.
Fees: Vacation care fees are listed against each activity on the program. A standard vacation day is $60.00; however, some incursions and excursions
will be charged at $71.50 and an extra special excursion day is $80 with activities well beyond our normal budget range. Child Care Subsidy may
assist with the costs of Vacation care, if your child’s CCS is not active please contact the Family Assistance Office on 136150. Not registering for CCS
for vacation care will result in full fees per child per day being charged. Families who qualify for JET assistance are entitled to fee relief with fees from
$12 per day per child. Please choose your days carefully. In accordance with AMAZE policy, full fees, inclusive of CCS, may apply if a 7 day’s
cancellation notice is not given.
Please note: In line with our fees policy vacation care fees are charged one week in advance. All fees must be paid in full and up to date to access
vacation care so please make the necessary payments now to ensure access. If you need to discuss your options, please contact the centre.
Do Not Forget Hat, Sunscreen, Lunch and Drink Bottle!
