Vacation Care Pack
Parent Information Letter
Dear Amaze families,
Thank you for your interest in our Christmas/New Year program for the upcoming school holidays. This pack
contains everything you need to know about vacation care here at Amaze so please take your time to have
a read through as this could answer some of the questions you may have.
Centre Info: We operate out of the school hall building here at Brisbane Central State School and during the School
Holidays are open from 7:00am – 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 centre ratios are 1:15 and all staff have
current Blue Cards and Senior First Aid Certificates, including Asthma and Anaphylaxis.
Bookings & Cancellation: To book simply return the booking and permission form by Wednesday 2nd December. You
must return the form to secure your child’s place. This is essential as not only does this give Amaze 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 Centre Director however in most cases a minimum of 7 days’ notice is required to
cancel a booking. If your child is absent and significant notice has not been given you will be charged for the session.
Please note that everyday children MUST have hats, lunch unless stated otherwise, 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.
Morning & Afternoon Tea: We provide Morning and Afternoon tea however, Lunch is required every day except those
listed below. If your child has allergies or dietary requirements, please speak to a staff member when booking. 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. Please note however, nothing that needs to be prepared as our ratios don’t allow for a staff member to be off the
floor preparing lunches. 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. Please make sure your child has a HAT! We are outside a lot and in the interest of sun safety our
policy is ‘no hat no play’ and they will be restricted to the shaded areas. Children must also wear appropriate footwear
such as runners or closed in shoes, so please no thongs or sandals. As you will appreciate, you would not like your child
to contract any illness whilst in our care and children who attend must not be suffering from any contagious disease or
illness. Please refer to our copy of Staying Healthy in Childcare 5th Edition for further information. Any items brought
will be at the child’s own risk. DVD/USB movies are welcome but must be rated G/PG only. 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: Fees are listed against each activity on the program and vary due to transport and activity costs. Child Care
Subsidy may assist with the costs of Vacation care, If 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. We charge one
week in advance, with fees due by the Friday of each week. Outstanding fees may result is care refusal or restrictions so
please ensure your account is up to date. Speak to your Centre Director if you have any questions or concerns.
