Vacation CareAsk any child what school holidays should be like and the answer will be the same: school holidays should be fun and exciting! For children, the holidays are a break from school - a time to play, relax, enjoy time with their friends and get out and about. But if you ask parents, it’s often a different story. Many have to re-schedule work or appointments, book babysitters, transport children here, there and everywhere, or simply try and find enough things to do to amuse the children! MELC Vacation Care programs offer a simple, easy solution to finding the compromise between fun and reliable care over the school holidays.
About Our ProgramsAt MELC, our vacation care programs cater for school children (aged 5-12 years) and they are jam-packed with activities, excursions and sporting events. We run special themed days that allow the children to explore their creativity, as well as providing opportunities to learn new skills and experience different activities under the supervision of trained carers . So far, our themes have included:
We’ve also taken the children on some great excursions including:

It’s a great opportunity for children from all surrounding schools to make new friends and have fun in a safe, and controlled, environment. How Do I Book?You can book your child/children in for as many days as you need over the school holiday period (1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 days per week) – it’s up to you. Places are limited and they do fill quickly so we encourage parents to book their child in early. Simply register your interest by completing the Booking Form for each school holiday. We will then advise whether the dates you have requested are available and if so, you can complete the Enrolment Form to confirm your booking and ensure we have the necessary information on file for your child/ children. The final details of activities for each vacation care program will be posted on this website prior to the school holiday. The cost of each day in vacation care changes depending upon whether it is an in-house activity ($45 per day) or off-premises (which ranges from $55 to $65 per day).
