Oyster Bay Out of School Hours Care Service educates and cares for children K-6 from Oyster Bay Public School. Oyster Bay BASC operates 5 days per week, 7am to 9am and 3pm to 6pm 40 weeks per year (excluding public holidays). We also offer Vacation Care for school holiday periods, providing extended care and education weekdays from 7am to 6pm.

​

Our service is located in the grounds of Oyster Bay Public School (Infant site). This allows children to have access to a large grassed area for sport activities, climbing equipment and a large indoor area for a variety of experiences our qualified educators provide. 

​

Our qualified educators incorporate the “My Time Our Place Framework”, encouraging children to choose between exploring, experimenting, being active or finding a quiet area to read a book or just be. Our program provides for all children of all abilities. Our fun filled program includes a nutritious afternoon tea, craft, computer games, group games, outside games and sport. We are involved in the Active After School Communities Program provided by the Australian Sport Commission. We bring in experienced coaches from many different sports to provide one hour of fun sport, catering for all abilities and ages.

​

We also take learning very seriously and if you choose to have your child do their homework at our centre, we will make sure they are getting the best support. We have at least one dedicated educator for this, ensuring that encouragement is given and questions and queries are answered.

We recognise that children's comfort and well-being extend beyond meeting the children’s basic needs. For that reason, we use Maslow's hierarchy of needs as a framework to ensure that children are supported beyond their basic and survival needs. We implement the 5 tiers of the pyramid, beginning with meeting the children's basic needs and ending with motivating them to be the best they can be (the pyramid's top).
