YMCA Outside School Hours Care (OSHC) provides fun, stimulating and safe care for primary and secondary school children before and after school. At OSHC, children have the opportunity to participate in cooking, sport, music, art, dance and so much more.
The Y Queensland’s childcare services have been at the heart of Australian communities for more than 40 years, with our first early learning service opening in Brisbane in 1977 after we identified the need for childcare that focused on helping children grow in body, mind and spirit.
We are currently recruiting for OSHC Educators on a casual basis to join our YMCA Arundel Outside School Hours Care (OSHC) Service.
About the service
YMCA Arundel Outside School Hours Care (OSHC) is located inside Arundel State School and is licensed for 135 children. The service operates from 6.30am to 9.00am and 3.00pm to 6.00pm Monday to Friday. The service also offers Vacation Care from 06:30am – 06:00pm.
Our program offers children the opportunity for both indoor and outdoor activities based around their interests, which we incorporate into our numerous play spaces, including three (3) playgrounds, multi-purpose court, and nature walk.
YMCA Arundel OSHC offers a wide range of fun, stimulating, and appropriate programs that reflect real-world experiences and home settings, encouraging a sense of community amongst the children, facilitating leadership skill development, and allowing children to practice social skills in a supported and caring environment.
