At Edgewater Out of School Care Centre, we are committed to creating a supportive and enriching environment where every child can thrive. By embracing our core values and philosophy, we aim to inspire a love for learning, promote positive relationships, and empower children to reach their full potential.

1.Inclusivity: We celebrate diversity and promote inclusivity, creating a welcoming environment where children from all backgrounds feel a sense of belonging and acceptance.

2.Safety: The safety and well-being of every child are paramount. We maintain high standards of safety through rigorous supervision, adherence to regulations, and regular risk assessments.

3.Respect: We uphold respect as a fundamental value, teaching children to respect themselves, others, and the environment. Respectful communication and interactions form the foundation of our community.

4.Holistic Development: We recognize the uniqueness of each child and strive to support their holistic development. Our programs are designed to nurture children's physical, emotional, social, and cognitive skills through engaging activities and experiences. Learning through Play: We believe that play is a powerful tool for learning and development. Our play-based approach encourages curiosity, creativity, and problem-solving skills, fostering a lifelong love for learning.

5.Partnership with Families: We value open and collaborative partnerships with families, recognising them as essential partners in their child's learning journey. Regular communication and involvement opportunities ensure that families feel supported and informed.

6.Environmental Responsibility: We are committed to environmental sustainability and teach children the importance of caring for our planet. Through eco-friendly practices and nature-based activities, we instil a sense of responsibility and stewardship for the environment.

7.Empowerment: We empower children to become confident, independent, and resilient individuals. By offering opportunities for decision-making, leadership, and self-expression, we foster a sense of agency and empowerment.

8.Continuous Improvement: We are dedicated to continuous improvement and strive to deliver high-quality care and education. Through ongoing reflection, evaluation, and professional development, we seek to enhance our practices and outcomes for the benefit of the children we serve.

Please have your child assist you to complete their Child Profile

The child profile is extremely important and essential for your child’s development. At Edgewater OSHC our Educators base the children's program around the children's interests, emerging skills and strengths. We do this to ensure the program is meaningful and tailored to the needs of each individual child, incorporating the Framework for school aged care in Australia “My Time, Our Place”. This framework is the vision for children’s learning through play and leisure in Australia and has set five learning outcomes:

Outcome 1: Children have a strong sense of identity

Outcome 2: Children are connected and contribute to their world

Outcome 3: Children have a strong sense of wellbeing

Outcome 4: Children are confident and involved learners

Outcome 5: Children are effective communicators

Education and Care National Regulations 2011- Regulations 102B requires a transport risk assessment to be conducted before our service transports any child. Regulation 102D requires our service to receive written authorisation to transport children. Our service has completed a risk assessment to identify and assess any risks that the transportation of a child may pose to the safety, health and wellbeing of the child. This has been authorised by the Approved Provider and is available to sight at our service. Policies and procedures for transporting children have been updated accordingly and are available to view.

Regular transportation means the transportation by the service or arranged by the service of a child being educated and cared for by the service, where the circumstances relevant to a risk assessment are substantially the same for each occasion on which the child is transported. An authorisation is only required once in a 12-month period.

Regular transportation has been defined by Edgewater OSHC as: whereby children will participate in regular transport to and from Edgewater Primary School and Emerald Park Clubrooms during School terms.
