A safe, and engaging place before and after the school bell.
The Parklea OSHC program 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.
