EPPING NORTH OUTISDE SCHOOL  HOURS CARE PROGRAM

CENTRE PHILOSOPHY

At Epping North OSHCP we pride ourselves on providing an integral service to the North Epping and surrounding Community. We welcome all students and their families, striving to create a positive and respectful environment for those at our centre. We celebrate our cultural diversity and the value it brings to our centre and community.

ENOSHCP is dedicated to teaching key social skills through a play-based curriculum that responds to all children’s needs and interests. We encourage our Educators to share their unique personal skills and interests with the centre to engage with and guide the children’s development. The children are free to explore the environment and engage in activities that they find meaningful to them in order to develop a sense of autonomy and ownership as well as promote confidence in themselves and their abilities.

We are strong advocates for the rights and safety of our children and aim to provide an enriching environment which fosters curiosity and diverse playing experiences. We pride ourselves on being a team of professional educators that act as positive role models to nurture the children into becoming valued members of our community. We uphold and support our school’s values of Respect, Responsibility and Resilience and endeavour to instil these values into the program and centre.

As educators, our focus is on inclusivity, ensuring all children’s needs are met while supporting them in creating a program that aligns with the My Time Our Place learning framework. We aim to build genuine and collaborative relationships with the children and their families to ensure all voices are heard and contribute to the centre in meaningful ways.
