Our Programs
"all children have the best start in life to create a better future for themselves and for the nation"
The Educational Programs at Sustainable OSHC are created with our children's needs in mind: to mature and develop in a safe yet stimulating environment.
Sustainable OSHC uses the developmental framework "My Time Our Place" Framework for School Age Care in Australia as a basis for our programming and evaluation.
Before & After School Care
Children are offered a wide variety of fun & educational indoor and outdoor activities and free play opportunities which is organised in a way that maximises their potential through differentiated groups (Juniors K-1, Middles Yrs 2-3 & Seniors Yrs 4, 5 & 6).
​
Each week, our Educators plan these Educational Programs tailored to the ages and interests of the children in their care. These programs also include the opportunity for children to rest, complete their homework or participate in unstructured free play within the OSHC environment.

Vacation Care programs run during all school holidays & on pupil-free days. Sustainable OSHC Centres are closed on public holidays and for 2 weeks during the Christmas/New Year period.
