Steven, General Manager of Greater West Childcare
“As Childcare Centres are strongly connected in their local community, they are an opportune platform to form connections, and to see parents supported in the important role they hold in their children’s lives. Our partner churches work closely with us, to offer services and programs to our families, that shine the light of Jesus Christ across our community.”
What is OOSH?
Out of School Hours Care (OOSH) is care provided for children enrolled in primary school (Kindergarten to Year 6) on either side of their school day (before and after school care), during school holidays (vacation care), and on pupil free days.
Before School Care
Before school care is available each morning during the school term. Each of our services open bright and early which enables you to have plenty of time to drop off your kids and get to work on time! We take care of feeding your children breakfast, and making sure they get to school on time.
After School Care
After School Care is provided each afternoon during the school term. It entails providing a fun and engaging afternoon environment for your child, starting with collecting them from school on our private mini buses and bringing them back to our centre for afternoon tea, sports, craft, and free play with their friends.
School Holiday Care (Vacation Care)
Vacation care is all day care that operates during the school holidays. Our services open early and close late to ensure that you are able to meet your work commitments even when your children are on holidays. Most of our holiday programs include a variety of excursions, incursions, workshops and theme days to keep your children occupied all holiday long!
School Pupil Free Day Care
All day care is provided at the OOSH Centre for children on days where their school has a pupil free or staff development day. We provide breakfast, lunch and afternoon tea, along with a range of exciting activities and games.
