Successful programmed activities provide an entertaining learning experience for the children whom are encouraged and supported to participate in relevant meaningful and engaging experiences throughout the program.

Done properly also provide an experience that enhances the Educators’ working environment.

YMCA OSHC programs are planned to respond to the diverse knowledge, cultures, interests, and abilities of the children and to also include their families.

Children will learn life skills as a part of the program with the focus on child initiated and children’s choice of experiences.

Our programs are flexible and allows us to incorporate spontaneous and child initiated activities throughout which can be changed or added accordingly.

Parents can view the program at any time and can also request to view evaluations on their child or children.

We encourage all families to be actively involved in the program and to collaborate and share their ideas with us.

Coordinator and Educators will, through ongoing process of self-evaluation, monitor evaluate and review all programs.
