Kool HQ St Ives 9-15 Link Road, Saint Ives, New South Wales 2075

Welcome to Kool HQ St Ives, a premier establishment and point of interest located at 9-15 Link Road in Saint Ives, Australia. Our institution offers a unique and exciting experience for children, with a range of activities and programs designed to foster their interests and development.

One of our standout features is our early closure at 3:30 pm on Fridays during the winter season, accompanied by a $10 discount. This allows families to enjoy their weekends a little earlier while saving some money. Speaking of savings, our fees start as low as $13.62, and with the maximum Child Care Subsidy (CCS) rebate, the cost can be significantly reduced. You can use our Fee Estimator tool to calculate your out-of-pocket expenses.

At Kool HQ St Ives, we believe in creating unforgettable memories and experiences for our children. We kick off our adventure with marshmallow roasting by a warm fireplace and cozying up in a comfortable camp bed. Every day brings us closer to realizing our vision of exploring our amazing surroundings and discovering the beasts and vibrant creatures on our campus.

Our program also includes drama activities where children can uncover and identify species to find their spirit animals and engage in fun games. They can get creative by crafting a clay treasure chest to hold their scavenged treasures and showcase their talents and bush skills at our Talent Show, complete with musical instruments and dress-ups.

After an exciting Survival Scavenger Day, it's time to put our imagination to work and build our envisioned shelter. We create a Tepee Town with blankets and soft edges, adding the finishing touch with fabulous nature crowns to complete our tribal look. Cooking sessions involve making tasty bush bread, Damper, and delicious side sauces. We also have a bush obstacle course where our mighty wild warriors can test their speed and wit.

Tribal life initiation takes place on Day 3, with activities such as fire making and tribal trade at our food and craft market. We focus on building a strong community that has evolved through real bush experiences. Children can learn the art of Tribal Dancing, create charcoal-colored Leaf Art, and participate in a festival where they can barter, buy, and sell goodies made from home at their own stall.

All our services are Child Care Subsidy approved, meaning you can enjoy reduced costs of up to 90% through rebates and benefits. Our childcare approach is centered around the children's interests, aiming to create a challenging, fun, and exciting program that supports their individual strengths and developmental areas.

We strive to provide reliable, affordable, and quality care for our community. The Australian Government offers various subsidies and programs to help with child care costs, with the Child Care Subsidy being the primary type of assistance. You can use our estimator to calculate your out-of-pocket costs after applying the CCS.

For new families, the first step is setting up an account with Kidsoft, a government-approved child care management system that allows us to process bookings and subsidies. We value the Australian Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and acknowledge the traditional custodians of the lands on which our services are located.

Join us at Kool HQ St Ives for an unforgettable adventure filled with fun, learning, and growth. Let us embark on a journey together, honoring the past and shaping the future of our children.
