At Kids Academy Early Learning, we know that families need flexible child care solutions to fit their busy lives. Whether you have a job interview, an appointment, or just need an extra day of care, booking a casual day at our centre gives your child a safe, nurturing, and engaging learning environment when you need it most. Casual days provide additional opportunities for learning, socialisation, and structured play, supporting your child’s development beyond their regular schedule.
What is a Casual Day?
A casual day (also known as occasional care) allows families to book an extra day of care outside of their regular schedule. It’s a great option for:
- Parents who need last-minute care for work, appointments, or other commitments.
- Families waiting for permanent days to become available who still want their child to attend when possible.
- Children who enjoy additional socialisation and learning experiences in a familiar and structured setting.
Casual days are available depending on centre availability, so we recommend booking early to secure a spot.

Booking a casual day is quick and easy:
- Call our Family Support Team at 1800 244 532 to check availability and book your child’s casual day.
- Speak to your Kids Academy Centre Manager directly to confirm availability and secure your booking.
- Ensure your CCS details are up to date (if applicable) to maximise your subsidy benefits for casual care.
