Incursions
As part of the Helping Hands Network Vacation Care program, children will also have the chance to immerse themselves in lots of fun incursions at local Helping Hands services.
We’ve partnered with awesome activity providers Australia-wide that bring the fun into your local service. Here are just a few of the exciting incursions we have planned these holidays: petting zoos, Slip’n’Slide water adventures, Sumo suits and silent disco dance parties!
Excursions
Is your child a thrill-seeker? Then they will love our rock climbing, roller skating and trampolining excursions. If your child enjoys more relaxing activities, then we have the perfect outings for them too. There are museum explorations, park picnics and we head to the movies to see the latest blockbuster releases for kids. We know that each little one is different, and we focus on providing safe, quality, and fun excursions to suit a huge variety of individual personalities!
And for the parents, you can rest assured that while your child’s having the time of their life – they are being cared for by Helping Hand Network’s 1:10 educator to child ratio on most excursions. Our educators are passionate, qualified and caring individuals who want to provide the best experience for you and your child.

I felt really guilty when I realised my children would have to go to After school care, but when I first came along I had a meeting with the Coordinator, she put my mind at ease. The environment that HH creates at the school is fantastic, the carers are so passionate about the children, I feel very secure that I am secure in leaving my children here. There is no more guilt
It is a really nurturing and warm environment, the children are always happy and engaged in some type of experience. They have the option to play inside or outside – there is always something on offer – things that they want to do. If the children come in with an idea it is used The staff negotiate with the children, and the children are always happy
