Before and After School Care

Before School Care is a great program for children of parents who need care before school hours. Children will enjoy unstructured play and stimulating activities that help get them ready for the day ahead.

 

Our After School Care program offers a wide range of varied and flexible activities. Children can choose from a variety of materials and resources including computers, arts, crafts, music, cooking and sports. With the support of qualified, experienced staff, children select and plan their own activities and experiences. In consultation with parents, staff can also supervise homework.

 

All YMCA of Sydney OSHC services are registered and participate in the Quality Assurance Process (OSHCQA) which ensure services meet stringent quality assessments to maintain accreditation. Areas covered by OSHCQA are relationships between staff, children and parents as well as the service's activities and health & safety practices. YMCA of Sydney OSHC services adhere to all relevant legislation and licensing requirements.
