TeamKids Before & After Care, Vacation Care.

TeamKids is the premium provider that exists to enrich children’s lives before school, after school and throughout the school holidays.

Before & After Care Available Here!
When attending TeamKids before and after school care, your children are in remarkable hands. Our full-time Director of Service is highly experienced in the field, and their number one priority is fun – your child will love the experiences we have on offer every day at TeamKids.
When children join our team, not only are they able to explore their world through our designated activity zones and TeamKids Clubs, but they’ll get to connect, collaborate and learn with others in a supportive and nurturing environment that fosters their individuality and own unique interests.
They’ll also enjoy an incredible menu, jam-packed with nutritious and delicious food. One thing is for sure, your child will not go hungry.
From the moment you walk through the door, TeamKids provides an atmosphere that is welcoming, relaxed and inclusive. At every opportunity, we aim to promote child agency and help to shape their innate leadership skills through a variety of inhouse leadership opportunities and fun, engaging rewards programs.
We offer industry-leading educator to child ratios of 1:10 (industry standard is 1:15), resulting in safer, better supervised experiences for all involved.
All of our programs are fully approved under the National Child Care Subsidy (CCS).
We’re excited and look forward to welcoming you to the TeamKids Family.

Our school zone

Our school zone is available on findmyschool.vic.gov.au. Findmyschool.vic.gov.au hosts the most up-to-date information about Victorian school zones for 2020 onwards.

Students residing in this zone are guaranteed a place at our school, which is determined on the basis of your permanent residential address.

The Department provides guidance through the School Placement Policy to ensure that students have access to their designated neighbourhood school and the freedom to choose other schools, subject to facility limitations.

You can find more information and answers to frequently asked questions on the Department’s website under School zones.  

If you have a question about school zones call the Victorian School Building Authority (VSBA) Hotline on 1800 896 950 or email: vsba@edumail.vic.gov.au

Compass School Manager

Parents/Carers: When visiting Altona Primary School to help in the classroom, please be sure to sign in/sign out at the Compass Kiosk, which is situated at the front of the office. This is in case of an emergency at school, as we then know to look for you and ensure your safety while on the premises. 

Children's late arrivals: When dropping off your child/ren, parents must come to the office to sign their children in at the Compass Kiosk. If parents have entered the drop off on Compass themselves for their child's late arrival, the children must still come to the office to collect a late pass.

Children's early departures: Parents must always come to the office to collect their child early, even if you have entered it yourself on Compass. You can also enter the early departure at the Compass Kiosk.

Compass Communication: All communication between parents/carers and APS is now done via Compass. If you do not currently have the Compass App or are not sure how to use it, please call in or contact the office for assistance.
