Before School Care (BSC)
Children don’t need anything specific for before school care, but are welcome to bring their breakfast with them to eat at the centre. Alternatively we provide breakfast in BSC. Breakfast items that are available are cereal or toast and milk.
After School Care (ASC)
We DO NOT provide food in ASC but children are welcome to bring their afternoon tea to eat at ASC. A suggestion is to pack this separate to their school lunch so they know that it is for afternoon tea (especially for the little ones)
