    Situation

    School holidays are very challenging. Our children are unable to occupy themselves, many are immobile and unable to move about independently.Many parents work, and are unable to afford childcare during holidays. Disabled children need extra support with activities, mealtimes, etc and without a structured program, they can have meltdowns and extra challenging behavior. Some parents can handle their children but find the school holidays a heavy burden on themselves/their family, who feel resentful

    Solution

    Step by Step will resolve this problem by providing quality, affordable and consistent respite during the school holidays. A full day provision, from 10-5 every day, with a carefully planned program to stimulate the children's varying needs, is offered. We provide healthy meals every day. Children are transported in our accessible vehicles to ensure inclusion. Trained volunteers and play workers support the children to ensure their safety and happiness.
