What times and days are available?

We are currently operating on Monday, and Tuesday We are taking expressions of interest for additional/alternative days. 

Official program times will be 9:30-3:30. Times for the standard program are flexible to meet your family's needs. If you've got a baby or a late sleeper and are struggling to get out the door before 10, that's fine! Need to pick up early? Also fine. It's not school. The only days that on time arrival is necessary are forest school days and excursions.

Can parents stay?

As long as you sign our visitors/evacuation register, parents and siblings are welcome to stay as long as they like. We have no intention of forcing separation before a child is comfortable. If you're going to be staying half/all day on a regular or semi-regular basis you might want to consider signing up to volunteer.

Do you have teens?

We are taking expressions of interest for Tween and Teen groups (Aged 9+) Please fill out this form and we will be in touch. 

Educational Terms and Conditions

Arcadia is not a school, and does not provide curriculum based education. Families of children of compulsory school age are advised that Arcadia is a supplement to their education, not a replacement for parent facilitated learning. Parents are responsible for their children's learning, and maintaining registration with the Home Education Department or a Distance Education provider. ​

Do we support Anaphylaxis and Special Needs?

As we are only one of many users of the hall, we are unable to ensure the space is kept free of anaphylactic allergens. 
Some of the site's facilities are unfortunately not easily wheelchair accessible. We do not have any staff with training in special/additional needs at this time. Please contact us if you have any queries about Arcadia's ability to suit your families needs.
