Nurturing

When children feel safe, secure and respected they realise that they are valued members of the St Clair OOSH family. We aim to build respectful and trusting relationships.

Sustainability

Holistic

St Clair OOSH understands that to grow into a strong, independent person a child needs a holistic approach to their physical, personal, social, emotional and spiritual well-being.

St Clair OOSH seeks out opportunities to involve families in the service as parents are the primary caregivers and offer a greater understanding into the children in our care.

Pedagogy

St Clair OOSH believes strongly in the importance of learning through play and scaffolding activities to cultivate children’s development.

Safety
