Waterfall Out of School Hours CareService educates and cares for children K-6 from Waterfall Public School. Waterfall OSHC operates 5 days per week, 7am to 9am and 3pm to 6pm 40 weeks per year (excluding public holidays).

 

The service is in the grounds of Waterfall Public school and it operates from the school’s library. There is an expansive outdoor grassed area with play equipment. Your child can use the wide variety of games and sporting equipment and participate in activities such as soccer, Frisbee, tennis etc.

​

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 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).
