Immaculate Heart Outside School Hours Care is part of the wonderful Immaculate Heart School and Ipswich Parish community. We are located in the school hall and care for up to 45 children daily.
Our program supports working families by providing a safe environment that is designed to cater to their children’s ages, skills, interests and abilities.
We view a child as having preparedness, potential, curiosity and interest in constructing their own learning and in negotiating everything the environment presents them. We provide the environment and guidance that gives opportunities for them to discover, explore and create. We strive to foster an environment that celebrates diversity and interdependence and encourage our children to value and respect the individual uniqueness, spiritually and contribution of others.
We encourage free play and provide both indoor and outdoor, individual and group experiences. As a small service our team can really get to know your child and family to create a program suited to them.
