Are school holidays feeling a little long? Or are you back at work and still looking for all-day care for your little ones? 

With three weeks of school holidays to go, there are still loads of great activities to keep your primary school-aged children entertained.

Places are still available at our Cromer, Manly Vale and North Harbour services.

You can relax knowing our experienced and motivated educators will look after your children.

Here’s a taste of what’s on offer:

  • Magic sand sculptures – get involved in a sculpting extravaganza using gravity-defying magic sand.
  • Excursion to the movies at the Entertainment Quarter – See one of the top movies on offer, then head to the nearest playground.
  • Excursion to Zone Bowling in Dee Why – Show off your ten-pin bowling prowess, then follow up with arcade fun.
  • Excursion to Wizzy World – Explore this huge indoor play centre with multiple slides and climbing mazes.
  • Dance Fever Disco – Wear your best party outfit and a crazy hair-do for karaoke, musical statues and more!
  • Bushfood cooking – Learn the traditional and modern uses of bushfood from a local Aboriginal person.

Our libraries are also full of activities for children this January, from robotics, hama bead workshops, Taylor Swift bracelet-making sessions, open mic nights and more. Have a look at the school holiday activity page to see what’s on. 

The Coastal Environment Centre comes alive in the summer holidays with Kids on the Coast activities for little adventurers. We have a few spots left including becoming a Coastal Explorer. Your littlies will love supporting their local area with a beach clean, art sculpture and much more!  See what’s on

For creative kids - head to the beach, then visit Manly Art Gallery & Muesum. Kids will enjoy the Lost in Palm Springs collage activity, while you soak up the exhibitions. See what's on.
