Spring School Holiday Program

Six themed days across two weeks. Play-based. Educator-designed. For children aged 3.5-8 years.

Week 1: Tue 29, Thur 1, Fri 2
Week 2: Tue 6, Thur 8, Fri 9
Karrinyup Children's Centre
9am - 1pm

Every day brings a new theme to explore through hands-on creating, playful literacy and numeracy, and plenty of time for children to follow their curiosity.

This holiday program also features three exciting specialist experiences: Potion Lab, Mini Olympics and Slime Lab, delivered in collaboration with visiting activity providers. Even on our specialist days, children will still enjoy the familiar Little Thinkers experience families know and trust: small groups, qualified educators, thoughtfully planned activities and an unhurried pace.

More than a holiday activity. A proper learning experience.

OPTIONAL ADD-ON

Reading Lift is back!

A daily 1:1 fluency boost for young readers, running alongside the holiday program.

Each day your child will receive 20 minutes of guided reading support designed to strengthen:
faster, smoother reading
improved word recognition
stronger understanding of texts
greater confidence when reading aloud

Without daily practice, reading progress often stalls over the holidays. Reading fluency develops through daily repetition. For this reason, the Holiday Reading Lift is structured as a 5 OR 10 day Program and families are encouraged to commit to the full schedule. Missing more than two sessions may limit the effectiveness of the program.

  • Evidence-based and structured
    Grounded in an explicit phonics sequence, adjusted every session based on the previous day.

  • For children enrolled in holiday program days, sessions run during a quieter time at the centre. Home visits on Monday and Wednesday. 

  • For children not enrolled in the holiday program, home visits can be planned for each day.

  • This is a per week commitment and is available as a standalone booking (no program enrolment required).
