After Kinder Care (AKC) 

About the program

AKC is available to support families requiring hours beyond their child’s sessional kinder program.

AKC has a slower pace in recognition of the fact children may be tired after a long kinder session. Like our sessional programs, activities are planned around the interests of the children attending. We provide opportunities for the children to rest and move at a ‘slower pace’ if that is what they need.

AKC is planned and led by Denzil Don Kinder educators. It follows on from all kindergarten sessions until 5:30 pm (exception: Orange Group, Monday).

It is not available before kinder or during term break.

Session types and fees

Sessions can be booked termly (for the whole term, paid upfront, non-refundable for missed sessions due to sickness, holiday or family choice) or casually (ad-hoc). Permanent sessions are $20/ hour, and casual $26/ hour.

We cap group numbers at 15 children and cannot offer flexibility. Termly bookings receive priority.

As we are not childcare, the childcare subsidy does not apply. 

How to book

Termly bookings: AKC booking forms will be emailed to all families two weeks prior to term end for the following term. Permanent bookings are invoiced in full and must be paid before the first session your child attends.

For term 1, the booking form will be sent during orientation week. We recommend, where possible, that families wait until their child has settled into their kindergarten program before registering for AKC. We understand that this may not be possible for all families.

Casual bookings: can be made up to two hours before the session required. Children must be registered casually prior to attendance. Once registered casually, children are registered for the year. Terms of use including how to book are available on the Casual AKC Registration form.
