What a Day Looks Like at Before and After School Care
Our Outside School Hours Care (OSHC) programs provide children with a safe, inclusive and engaging environment where their rights and voices are respected. Each service offers a variety of experiences and breakout spaces, giving children the freedom to choose how they spend their time...whether that’s exploring STEM projects, joining in outdoor games, relaxing with friends or diving into creative arts.
Our experienced educators create programs that balance fun and learning, while ensuring every child feels supported, valued and connected before and after the school day.
-
Before school, children are welcomed into a calm and supportive environment that sets them up for the day ahead. A nutritious breakfast is offered to fuel their minds and bodies, and there’s time to enjoy a mix of engaging activities. Whether it’s creative arts, quiet reading, or hands-on STEM experiences, children start the morning with choice, confidence and connection before heading into class. -
After school, children arrive to a warm and energetic space designed for both fun and relaxation. They can share a healthy afternoon snack before joining in a wide range of activities, from outdoor games and sports to STEM projects, cooking and creative arts. Our experienced educators support children to follow their interests, build friendships and unwind from the school day in a safe, caring environment.
