As an experienced OSHC provider, we have the highest standards of quality assurance in our systems, facilities and programs.
Program
The OSHC programs follow the philosophy of the National Quality Framework for School Aged Care: My Time, Our Place. Our activities assist with all aspects of a child’s physical, intellectual, social and emotional development, and are created to meet the five outcomes of the framework which are:
- Children have a strong sense of identity.
- Children are connected and contribute to their world.
- Children have a strong sense of wellbeing.
- Children are confident and involved learners.
- Children are effective communicators.
Our programs are based on the children’s interests which include dramatic play, craft, cooking, visual arts, and current events in the community such as the RSPCA fundraiser. Our families are valued and invited to be part of the program.
ACECQA Rating
Our service has been assessed by the Office of Early Childhood Education and Care against the Australian Children’s Education and Care Quality Authority (ACECQA) Standards. Our last assessment was in May 2017 and we received our rating of Exceeding National Quality Standard.
