Vacation Care Pack
Parent Information Letter
Dear Amaze families,
Thank you for your interest in our September Vacation Care Program. We have some new 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’d like you to bear in mind
when booking your days.
Centre Info: We operate out of the school hall at Mudgeeraba State School 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 and all staff have current Blue Cards
and Senior First Aid Certificates, including Asthma and Anaphylaxis.
Program: This Program, is offering inhouse activities, incursions and 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 Wednesday 15th September 2021. 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 Service
Co-ordinator, 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 below, 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 stated on the
program. 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. 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, 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 children who attend must not be suffering from
any contagious disease or illness. Please refer to the Staying Healthy in Childcare 5th Edition located at our sign in desk 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: Vacation care fees are $55 for a standard vacation care day, $71.50 for an incursion and some excursions and $80 for an extra out
of the ordinary excursion. Child Care Subsidy CCS 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.
Please be aware that you may need to increase your hours to 60 for a five-day booking. Please note if your fees are not up to date you
will not be able to access the service. All vacation care fees must be paid in full by Thursday 16th September 2021 in line with our ‘one
week in advance policy’. If you have any questions, contact the centre on 0408 663 683.

Wet Weather and Activity Cancellations
In cases of severe weather, we may need to cancel an activity and find an alternative on the day. Please
note that should this happen Amaze staff will notify you of the change as early as possible and that on drop
off you will be asked to sign an emergency excursion permission form for the replacement activity.
As we are entering our warmer months for the year, there may be times throughout the day where our UV
rating is too high for children to participate in outdoor activity. In this instance our program will be
amended to provide cooler indoor activities to avoid exposure to the extreme heat outside.
Our hall is equipped with large industrial fans as well as our space being well ventilated with high levered
windows as well as sliding doors to allow a breeze through our space.
Amaze Daily Vacation Care Routine
Here we have our routine during the vacation period, and whilst some activity times may vary our
mealtimes will be as close to these times as possible so please note when dropping off and picking up. We
do like all children to arrive by 9am and ask that if they are going to be absent that you please notify the
centre.

their day. 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.

readily available, a drink bottle may be purchased at an additional cost to you and applied to your account.
Your child should attend with lunch unless stated otherwise on our Activity Sheet above
All charges for booked sessions are charged one week in advance and require full payment one week before your
