About Us

Tweed Shire Vacation Care Inc and Tweed After School Care were established in 1984 to meet the childcare needs of working and studing families of the Tweed.

From those humble beginnings the service has developed to operate in two locations - Tweed Heads and Murwillumbah.

Some highlights over the years, include the establishment of the new building within the grounds of Tweed South Primary School and the winning of "Best OOSH Centre" in NSW (2001) and "Inclusion of Children with Special Needs" Award (2003).

Tweed Vacation Care operates during all NSW school holidays and public school pupil free days. Programs are age appropriate with the juniors (5-8 years) and seniors (9-12 years) enjoying a mixture of in centre and excursion activities. Our Murwillumbah centre offers a program for 5-12 years.

Tweed Shire Vacation Care Inc has a long and valued history of including children and young people with special needs and considered the benchmark for inclusion in the Tweed.

Our services are also inclusive of our indigenous community and welcome children from Aboriginal, Torres Strait Islander and Australian South Sea Islander backgrounds, several members of our staff are also from the Indiginous community.

Tweed and Murwillumbah After School Care operates during the NSW school terms and offers a mixture of structured and free choice activities including art, craft, sports, games, drama, music etc.

School bus transport is available from most schools in the local area.
