Outside School Hours Care
Outside School Hours Care
Our Outside School Hours Care (OSHC) programs at Florey Primary and Charnwood-Dunlop schools provide safe, welcoming spaces for children from preschool to Year 6. Each day, our Educators create an environment where children feel at ease and can start and end their day with friends and fun.
For families, OSHC provides the confidence to work, study and balance responsibilities knowing their children are happy, safe and cared for. Many of the families we support – including single parents, sibling groups and families facing challenges – rely on OSHC to stay connected and balance work and family life.
Children build friendships, explore interests and learn through play, developing confidence, teamwork and social skills in a relaxed setting. Guided by the national Belonging, Being and Becoming framework, Educators encourage choice and independence through activities like crafting, sport, cooking and quiet time.
We also run School Holiday Programs at both schools, offering enriching activities, incursions and excursions that keep children learning, socialising and having fun outside of term time.
