A safe, and engaging place before and after the school bell.
Kent Rd OSHC offers children a place where they feel safe, respected and supported beyond the school day. Our educators create a welcoming environment that values every child’s voice and rights, encouraging them to make choices and explore their interests. Whether it’s active play outdoors, creative arts, group games or quiet time to relax, children are given space to learn, connect and belong.
Experiences that grow confidence and friendships
Each session is thoughtfully planned to support children’s wellbeing, independence and social skills. With consistent, caring educators and a focus on inclusion, children build friendships and develop confidence through play and shared experiences. Families can feel reassured knowing their child is part of a program that celebrates individuality while nurturing respect, care and curiosity in every activity.
Meet Our Program Manager
Hi, I’m Stella. I have been in the Early and Middle Childhood Education sector for more than 10 years. I started my journey with children in their younger years and moved onto school aged children 3 years ago. I have been fortunate to work at multiple sites within Gowrie which has provided me with great experience.
Engaging with different educators including senior educators has given me an opportunity to learn and develop my skills in the OSHC setting. Providing a safe and fun environment for children is my passion, and I strongly believe that educators are the best resource for children to encourage and make their little dreams come true each day. I am proud of my decision to work with children and this passion is ongoing.
