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).
Nutritious, healthy and tasty snacks are core to the success of our programs. We provide breakfast in our before school session, along with a light snack in our after school session. Please maintain regular discussions with the team members at oshc about any dietary requirements, so we can cater for your child.
Examples of food may include:
Before Care:
Cereal, Fresh fruit, Toast, Pancakes & Yoghurt.
After Care:
Fresh fruit and vegetables, Sandwiches, Yoghurt, Cheese, Crackers & Dips.
