As the year draws to a close, life can feel busier than ever. Between end-of-year deadlines, school events, Christmas shopping, and social gatherings, there’s barely a moment to stop and catch your breath.
That’s where casual days at Kids Academy Early Learning come in. Whether it’s November, December, or any other time of the year, casual bookings give you the flexibility to add an extra day of care whenever you need it, so you can manage life’s busy moments while your child enjoys another day of fun, learning, and connection.
What Is a Casual Day?
A casual day (sometimes called occasional care) allows families to book an additional day of care outside their regular schedule. It’s a simple way to balance work, appointments, or family commitments without disrupting your child’s routine.
Every casual day at Kids Academy includes all the things children love most:
- Outdoor playtime in safe, engaging playgrounds and sandpits
- Creative arts and crafts that inspire imagination
- Music, dancing, and group activities that build confidence
- Storytelling and early literacy experiences that spark curiosity
- Nutritious meals freshly prepared onsite
- Rest and relaxation time in a calm, comfortable setting
- Caring educators who know your child and help them feel at home
It’s a day filled with laughter, learning, and belonging, giving you peace of mind while you focus on everything else.
Why Families Choose Casual Care
Flexibility year-round - Book extra care when you need it most, whether during the holiday rush, a busy work period, or any unexpected schedule change.

Consistency and connection - Your child spends time with familiar educators and friends, keeping routines steady and confidence high.
Fun, hands-on learning - From messy play to music time, every casual day includes opportunities for creativity, movement, and exploration.
