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 />

knowing their kids are safe and enjoying the<br />

benefits of a quality after school programme.<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 />
