CASPA (Creative After School<br />

PAPA JACKS offers children the opportunity<br />

new experiences all within a safe, nurturing<br />
environment. CASPA offers working parents<br />
an affordable after school and school holiday<br />
programme that their kids just love!<br />
CASPA attributes its success to the variety<br />
of activities on offer as well as the convenience<br />
and affordability for parents. CASPA kids<br />
enjoy an exciting range of activities including<br />
sports, music, games, drama, arts and craft<br />
as well as fun trips. Previous themes and<br />
activities have included a Karaoke Dance<br />
Party, CASPA Fear Factor, Healthy Art, Out<br />
of Africa and hundreds of other amazing<br />
themes/activities!<br />
CASPA parents enjoy peace of mind,<br />
knowing their kids are safe and enjoying the<br />
benefits of a quality after school programme.<br />
Some parents and caregivers also enjoy<br />
government subsidies for CASPA. CASPA<br />
is Child Youth and Family approved for the<br />
OSCAR Subsidy and in some circumstances,<br />
the full CASPA fee will be covered by the<br />
subsidy.<br />
