Dear Families

As we continue to refine and enhance the programs and opportunities we provide for our students and families, the School Council have recently completed a thorough tender process to review the Outside of School Hours Care Program at our school. As a result of this process, we are pleased to have made the decision to appoint TeamKids as our provider for 2023. TeamKids will be operating Before and After Care at our school as well as a holiday program on-site. The program will continue to run out of our multi-purpose room.

We are confident that the partnership that we will have with TeamKids will benefit all students and families at our school.

^These fees will be significantly reduced when the family’s eligibility for Child Care Subsidy (CCS) is applied to the total cost of the day. Families will only be charged the “Gap” after their CCS is applied. Individual family circumstances will affect the CCS rebate. Further information can be found at www.humanservices.gov.au/individuals/services/centrelink/child-care-subsidy.

TeamKids are proudly independently owned and run by teachers. Unique to the industry, TeamKids will employ a qualified full-time co-ordinator, known as a Director of Service, at our school.

The Director of Service has two overarching responsibilities, and that is to:

Implement age-appropriate experiences that are engaging and fun, but also create learning environments that are warm, unique and stimulating, a place where children don’t have to go, they want to go.
Ensure consistency of staff, provide an exemplary level of communication with the children and parents and build a strong, genuine relationship with the school and the broader community.

In addition to this, TeamKids have set a new standard in the OSHC space in their offerings that:

Build parental and student confidence through the quality of outstanding programs and communication.

Create child–led programs that enrich and extend the children in meaningful ways as their TeamKids Clubs.
Establish long-lasting relationships with our school by having complete community engagement, enhancing what already makes our school special.
Provide industry-leading educator-to-student ratios of 1:10.

Further information will be supplied in the coming weeks with information events to be announced and family handbooks supplied to the community.

All families will need to register for free with TeamKids. If you have not used TeamKids before then you will need to register your child and add your bookings for 2023.

Please go to the website www.teamkids.com.au and select the program and follow the enrolment instructions.

If you have used TeamKids before, please contact their Customer Service Team and they will link your account. You will then just need to add your desired bookings.

TeamKids’ local Customer Service team is always there to help. Please contact their Customer Service team via email info@teamkids.com.au or phone 1300 035 000, press #1 if you have any questions.

We look forward to working with TeamKids in 2023.

Thank you
