Helping Hands Network before and after school programs
Helping Hands Network's Rise then Shine before school program and Stay and Play after school program are based on research and designed to facilitate play. Their programs provide children with opportunities for experimentation, imagination, and freedom of expression!
Before and after a structured day at school, it’s important for children to have the chance to relax and participate in activities they enjoy. Every child has their own idea of what’s fun, so Helping Hands Network offer a wide range of engaging activities during Before and After School Care (Rise then Shine and Stay and Play programs) to accommodate every child’s desire.
While Helping Hands Network still offer all the usual fun activities, they also have 7 adventure categories! Each adventure category gives children the opportunity to develop life skills and explore their interests through specially designed experiences and activities.
Visit the Helping Hands Network website to learn more about their before and after school care program, including before and after school program opening hours, pricing, and information about the service.
Helping Hands Network holiday program
Holiday HQ is the ultimate destination for kids looking for an unforgettable break from the school routine. From exciting sport competitions to cooking classes – their expert educators provide a dynamic blend of engaging activities and enriching experiences.
In addition, guest visitors and excursions add variety for your child during the holidays so no two days are the same. One day might be a coding specialist visiting the school, the next day might be a trip to the cinemas.
They also ensure that every child’s holiday is not just entertaining but an opportunity for growth. Kids build new friendships, explore their interests, and return to school with unforgettable memories.
More information about Holiday HQ is available on the Helping Hands Network website, including holiday program opening hours, pricing, and program activity details.
