Service Philosophy
The statement of philosophy was developed in consultation with the children at the OSHC. It is a set of guidelines that both children and educators adhere to in order for the service to be a fun, safe place for everyone.
We care for each other, ourselves and work together as a team.
We respect all children and educators at the OSHC.
Children and educators have a right to play and work in a safe and secure environment. Educators will demonstrate positive role modelling by always using an appropriate tone of voice when speaking to children. Also using appropriate language to suit the age and stage of the children accessing the service.
We look after the inside and outside of environment of the OSHC.
Educators will positively role model appropriate use and care of resources and equipment, ensuring that the resources are age appropriate and complete. Educators will facilitate ongoing discussions with children about resources and experiences that the children would like to have in the future.
We will remain safe by communicating with educators and each other.
Children will communicate with an educator when they leave to play outside and go to the bathroom. Educators will observe children behaviour, providing a safe space and someone to talk to if they are feeling overwhelmed.
We are all a team.
When children and educators work together as a team we can create a great space for everyone to enjoy.
Chile Care Subsidy
Child Care Subsidy is paid by the Commonwealth to Child Care Services so they can reduce the fees families pay for Child Care. The amount of Child Care Subsidy available to families depends on the family income. You may be eligible for Child Care Subsidy even if you have never received assistance from the Commonwealth before. Our program is a registered provider to enable you to take advantage of this assistance. Please enquire about eligibility.
