Adamstown OOSH provides high quality care before school, after school and during school holidays to the Adamstown and surrounding communities. We are committed to the wellbeing and development needs of each child by providing a warm, caring, and safe environment, tailored to suit individual needs. We endeavour for each child to feel safe and have a strong sense of belonging in our care by providing a wide range of opportunities to engage all children, providing a safe, healthy, inclusive, and fun environment where children can foster and maintain friendships with each other and our Educators.

 

We aim to create a comfortable atmosphere that offers acceptance and support to families, and we acknowledge that children thrive when families, Educators, and the community work together in partnership to support one another. We prioritise developing strong and reciprocal relationships between children, Educators, and families to ensure that all stakeholders feel valued and included. We strive for clear communication between Educators, children, and their families to ensure that the needs of all children are being met.

 

Our program is guided by the “My Time, Our Place” curriculum which enhances and nurtures each child’s development. Our Educators respond to the emotional, social, physical, visual, and cognitive developmental needs of each child to create a fun, interesting and stimulating program that incorporates children’s interests, culture, and world events. Educators encourage individual interests and foster independence and autonomy through play. Our service also strives to strengthen community connections by offering additional opportunities to engage in learning experiences through a range of community partnerships and project. A range of program opportunities are provided to support children to learn about themselves and others, and connect to their environment, enabling them to care for the land and contribute to their world in meaningful ways.

 

Families, children, Educators, and the community are encouraged to contribute feedback to our service to shape our programs as we aim to connect the children to their peers and the world around them.

 

At Adamstown OOSH we aim to be a valued, trusted, and respected part of our community and contribute to our families lives in a meaningful way.
