GLENORIE O.O.S.H

Glenorie OOSH strives to provide a reliable and affordable Out of School Hours Care whilst maintaining the highest quality standards of service that is accessible to all members of the Community.

 

We believe in providing a safe, welcoming, caring and stimulating environment that displays neither bias nor prejudice and encourages children, staff and families to share their individual traditions, stories and family backgrounds.

 

We recognise the importance of Parents, Families and the Community to ensure children develop a strong sense of identity and respect for others. We encourage children and parents to be actively involved in the planning, implementation and evaluation of the Program.

Glenorie OOSH is committed to providing a fun, challenging and active program that provides interactions to foster social, emotional, physical and cognitive development.

Our Centre implements the My Time, Our Place Framework to ensure that School aged children have the opportunity to engage in meaningful play that is a reflection of their interests and choices. We believe in children having the opportunity to learn through play based activities and support their well-being, learning and development.

 

The program offers safe challenges, opportunities for decision making and leadership, and individual and group activities designed to foster positive self-esteem and confidence, whilst encouraging independence and autonomy. Structured activities and child directed play provide opportunities for children to explore, experiment and engage with each other and the wider community through a range of media and communication technologies.

We believe in providing a healthy, nutritious and diverse menu that encourages the children to enjoy the social experience of sharing a meal whilst taking responsibility for their own health and well-being.

As Educators we provide the opportunity for children to resource their own learning through connecting with people, places, technologies and natural/processed materials.

We believe in practice and advocate for the principles outlined in the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child, the Early Childhood Code of Ethics, Children’s Services Regulation and the My Time Our Place Framework.
