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.
I’ve been an early ed coordinator for:
10 years.
My favourite thing about being an early ed coordinator is:
Building great relationships with children in my care. Seeing them develop, learn and better understand how to become a confident member of the wider community.
Something I like to tell all mums and dads is:
How much fun and enjoyment we had today.
My favourite way to relax is:
Spending time with my family camping.
Your child’s health and wellbeing is our top priority and we recognise the essential role sleep, rest and relaxation plays in your child’s development.
As children grow they develop confidence and self-esteem from their interactions with others. There are a number of things you can do to help your children grow into confident young people, and in this article we look at some simple strategies you can use to build your child’s self-esteem.
Just as we all have different interests, tastes and preferences, we all have different ways of learning. This is especially true of young children, who will all learn in different ways and at their own pace. It’s important to allow children to learn and grow in the way that suits them best.
