The Program

Welcome to our Outside School Hours Care program. We provide fully accredited at the highest quality Before & After Care for primary aged children.

Our aim is to provide a secure and happy environment where children can develop their intellectual, social, emotional, physical, aesthetic skills to become competent and confident individuals. And for you as a parent/guardian, feel safe in the knowledge that your child is receiving the best possible care.

We believe the best way to work with you and your child is by building a partnership of care. To do this we want you to feel:

  • Welcomed, recognised, acknowledged and respected by all our staff.
  • That your child is really known by, and really knows, the people who care for him or her.
  • You are given lots of information about what is occurring and are asked for your views.
  • You are involved in making decisions about your child’s experiences.
  • You and your child are received and greeted upon arrival.
  • Your child is happy, stimulated, secure and engaged.
  • Your child is not just looked after, but really cared for.

Our program provides children with a large variety of choice. Children have plenty of options, ranging from participation in the set activities, play in the themed spaces such as dress up area, board games, art/craft, free play outside or even our homework hub. Children are encouraged to also utililse our range of indoor and outdoor activities (weather permitting).
