We are part of the wonderful community of Our Lady of Dolours School and parish.

Our Outside School Hours Care program supports working families by providing a safe environment before and after school that is designed to cater to their children’s age, skills, interests and abilities.

We run a flexible and adaptable child-initiated program incorporating children’s ideas, cultures and interests. We view each child as having preparedness, potential, curiosity and interest in constructing their own learning and in negotiating everything the environment presents to them. We provide guidance and support to children so they can discover, explore and create something new everyday.

Our centre strives to foster a culture that celebrates diversity and interdependence and we encourage children to value and respect each other.

We encourage free play and promote both indoor and outdoor, individual and group activities. We are a small service which gives staff the opportunity to really get to know your child and family.

Coordinator

I’ve been an early ed coordinator since:
August 2021.
My favourite thing about being an early ed coordinator is:
Getting to watch so many wonderful children grow up into fantastic people! I love interacting with so many different people with lots of different backgrounds for me to learn about.
Something I like to tell all the mums and dads is:
We are here to help and support you! Please come and talk to us if you need help!
My favourite way to relax is:
Reading a good book with a cup of coffee.
