The program caters to children aged five to 12 years and operates weekdays, 8am to 6pm, from Monday 3 to Thursday 13 April 2017. Bookings can now be made online.

Latrobe City Council’s coordinator early learning and care Stacey Jennings said the program offered a fun and educational care option for primary school aged children over school holidays.

"Located at Moe PLACE in Vale Street, the program offers excursions, art and craft and cooking activities. It also offers an opportunity for children to try their hand at different activities, challenging their skills and providing a safe place to meet new friends," Ms Jennings said.

"We plan the program so that the children are offered a variety of experiences, both at the venue and out in the community. Over this holiday period there will be an Easter egg hunt as well as visits to Scienceworks and the Morwell National Park.

The children will also get the chance to take part in a Bunnings workshop and to try their hand at archery, mosaic crafting and tie-dyeing.

"There’s a different activity on offer every day and we guarantee the children will have fun in a caring and safe environment," Ms Jennings concluded.
