The school holidays are a chance for children to take a break from the classroom, try something different and spend time making new friends. For busy families, though, school holidays can also mean trying to organise care, activities, meals and plenty of entertainment for energetic kids.
At Inspire & Innovate Childcare in Baulkham Hills, the Spring School Holiday Program has been designed to take care of all of that in one place. Running from 28 September to 12 October 2026, the program combines excursions, hands-on activities, STEM learning, games, sport, creative activities and plenty of opportunities for children to have fun with friends.
A school holiday program packed with variety
One of the best things about vacation care is giving children the opportunity to experience activities they may not normally get to do during the school term. Rather than simply filling the day, Inspire & Innovate’s holiday program gives children a changing mix of activities across the two-week holiday period.
The Spring program includes activities such as LEGO building challenges, problem-solving games, board games, design and building challenges, treasure hunts, drawing and guessing games, obstacle courses and a dance party.
There is also plenty happening outside the centre, with excursions and special activity days including Gaming Day, Pizza Masterclass, Area 51, Movie Day with Popcorn, Flower Power Gardening Workshop, Burger Masterclass, Sydney Zoo, Sports Day & Picnic, Bake Master and a Celebration Games Day & Picnic at the Park.
For children who love discovering how things work, the program also incorporates STEM learning. Activities include telling the time, engineering challenges, bridges and structures, science experiments, construction building, rocket challenges, money, mathematical operations and fractions.
With so much variety across the program, children can try something new, work with others, get creative and develop new skills while enjoying their school holidays.
Learning doesn’t stop when school does
Vacation care doesn’t have to mean choosing between learning and having fun. At Inspire & Innovate, the two are built into the same day.
The program includes opportunities for children to develop problem-solving skills, explore science and engineering concepts, practise maths, build teamwork skills and take part in creative activities. There are also activities focused on mindfulness, brain games, team challenges and active play.
This approach gives children the chance to keep learning in a more relaxed environment, where activities are practical, social and designed to be enjoyable.
It also reflects Inspire & Innovate’s philosophy of providing care that inspires and learning that lasts a lifetime.
Excursions, activities and plenty of active fun
Children need variety during the holidays, and the Spring School Holiday Program has plenty of it.
The program combines excursions and centre-based activities, giving children opportunities to explore, move, create and socialise. Depending on the day, they might be building with LEGO, solving a puzzle, taking part in a sporting activity, experimenting with science, visiting Sydney Zoo or enjoying a movie and popcorn.
The final activity category on the timetable, Learning & Active Fun, also includes activities such as music and dance, scavenger hunts, netball and basketball, puzzle challenges, mindfulness and yoga, relay races, team building, badminton, pickleball, creative craft and capture the flag.
There is something for different interests and personalities, whether your child prefers getting stuck into a building challenge, running around outdoors, creating something artistic or working through a tricky problem.
Meals and snacks are included
Parents have enough to organise during the school holidays without having to remember another lunchbox every morning.
The vacation care program includes nutritious meals and snacks, with the flyer noting that meals are included every day.
That means children can stay fuelled throughout their busy days of activities, while parents have one less thing to prepare before heading out the door.
Flexible care for busy families
The Spring School Holiday Program provides care from 7:30am to 6:00pm, giving families flexibility around work and other commitments.
The program is also designed to provide more value for families, with no admin fee, enrolment fee, re-enrolment fee or late fee listed on the holiday care flyer. CCS is available for eligible families, with the flyer stating that eligible families may receive up to 90% subsidy.
The advertised holiday care rate is $100 per day, with an early bird rate of $90 per day when booked at least two weeks before the holiday period.
