Before and after school care in Tuart Hill, Perth
The school day, sorted. Both ends.
Before school, after school and vacation care in the restored 1914 St Kieran's church and school. We take children to class in the morning, and our own bus is waiting at the gate when the bell goes.
Same family, same faces as our long day care, just a short walk away. And because we own the building, there's no rent built into your fees.

St Kieran's, then and now
Our home on Waterloo Street
A 1914 schoolhouse, full of children again.
Our school care runs from the original St Kieran's church and school, built in 1914 and for decades a meeting place for the Tuart Hill community. After a hundred years, its rooms are once again full of children learning and playing.
We've cared for Tuart Hill's school-age children since 2000, and because the building is ours, its upkeep never turns into higher fees.
Vacation care
School's out. The fun isn't.
Every school holidays we put together a fresh program of excursions and incursions, chosen with real care so it's different from last time. Children from any primary school are welcome, so it's a great way to make new friends.
Open 7:30am to 6:00pm. $104 a day before the Child Care Subsidy, plus $15 for each excursion or incursion.
Day out
The show came to us
Time to just be a kid.
After a full school day, children need play, rest and a sense of belonging. Our program follows My Time, Our Place, the national framework for school-age care.
Play they choose
Sport, art, building, games and quiet corners, indoors and out, built around what the children are into.
Life skills
Helping prepare snacks, caring for the garden and the planet, and learning to look after each other.
Somewhere they belong
Every culture is welcome here, and children learn about each other's families, food and celebrations.
