Plenty Valley Montessori School

The Before and After School Care Program operates for the hours of 7.45am -8.45am before school and 3.15 pm to 6.30 pm after school. This program offers quality care, incorporating recreational activities and positive opportunities for socialisation and interaction between our students. The program is available to all primary students.

If you are serving on a committee that meets Before or After School, you are offered Before and After School Care free of charge as a token of our appreciation for giving up your valuable time to help make this school a better place. Please ensure the Before and After School Care Coordinator is aware of which committee you have been working on.

Registration:

Students must be registered before attending the program. Registration is included as part of your child’s Student Information Record. We suggest all students should be registered in case of an emergency.

Bookings:

Bookings can be made via the school office by letter, phone or in person between 9.00 am and 2.45 pm. Unless it is an emergency, bookings are to be made at least a day in advance whenever possible. If you decide to cancel, the Coordinator or the school office must be notified.

Students not collected from the car park by 3.40 pm will automatically be taken down to Before and After School Care (BASC) by the staff member on duty. Students not collected at the finishing time of an Before and After School activity (such as Chess or Football Anytime) will also automatically be taken to BASC until collected by a parent. Normal fees as listed below will apply. These procedures are in place to ensure the safety of all students if you are inadvertently held up and cannot make it to school by collection time.

Before School Care
7.45am -8.45am or part thereof $7.00

After School Care
3.15 to 4pm or part thereof $7.00

Payment of fees can be made daily, weekly or fortnightly. Please speak with the co-ordinator regarding the Child Care Benefit. This is an instant discount and available to ALL families. BASC staff can assist in regard to methods of payment available.

Collection of Children
The parent or nominated person is required to sign the attendance roll upon collection. If anyone other than the parent collects the student/s, the BASC co-ordinator MUST be notified. Students must be collected by 6.30 pm. If not, payment of $1.00 per minute will be incurred.

Emergency Procedure
The nominated Emergency contact person will be contacted if your child is not collected by 7.00 pm, if parents cannot be contacted. If no-one is contactable, the student will remain within the care of the Before and After School Care staff, but will incur the normal penalty rate of $1.00 per minute.
