Thank you for hosting such fun vacation care days! Miki had lots of fun in the holidays on the days she attended!
Juliet cried when vacation care finished last holidays because she was going to miss the teachers so much!
I have to say Amelia really enjoys vacation care and looks forward to the next holidays. It makes me happy to know she enjoys it.
Thank you for having Phoebe, she had such a great time and it was a great help to me whilst I was at work.
Thanks for confirming our dates, I’m sure Phoenix & Sacha will enjoy it as much as they did last time, they had a blast!
Just wanted to say thank you, it was Zach’s first time these holidays and he really enjoyed it. Everyone was so friendly and welcoming, I especially loved how the teachers met Zach and made him feel welcome and made the effort to settle him in. Thank you!
Thanks again for a great few weeks, it’s been a first time for our children, and the kids have loved it. Will definitely be back in the next holidays.
Declan said this morning, I’m so excited, it’s almost the holidays. I said, why? Because I get to go to vacation care!
My son had a wonderful vacation care day there, very caring staff.

The Vacation Care program runs at the YWCA Hunter throughout the school holidays. It is an innovative, FUN packed program that ensures the children of working parents have a thrilling and enriching school holiday experience. Funded and accredited under the Dept of Education, the program caters for parents working in the inner city and local children alike.
Through excursions, incursions and in-house theme days the children create, use their imaginations and physically challenge themselves while learning new skills and having fun. All vacation care activities are delivered through many fun, community aware and interesting themes set under the ‘My Time Our Place’ government guidelines. Children must be enrolled at school to be able to attend.
YWCA Hunter is also an accredited childcare provider so parents can claim the Child Care Subsidy towards their vacation care fees.
