Before School Care

Supporting Primary School-Aged Children with a Positive Start Every Morning

Before School Care (BSC) is designed to support families by providing a safe and engaging environment for children before the school day begins. It ensures that kids are well cared for, giving parents peace of mind as they start their day.

For working and studying parents, finding reliable care before school is crucial. It helps ease the morning rush, allows parents to focus on their work or studies, and ensures their children start the day in a positive and structured way.

At GW Childcare, we offer Before School Care services at both our CABOOSH and St Clair OOSH centres. Our programs provide a warm, Christian-based environment where your child will enjoy a nutritious breakfast and participate in leisure-based programs and engaging activities, helping them to start their school day ready and refreshed.

Before School Care Highlights

Our Before School Care program provides a structured and engaging start to the day.

Each morning begins with a nutritious breakfast that supports your child's growth and energy levels, preparing them for a productive school day. Our meals are balanced and cater to all dietary requirements and allergies.

After breakfast, children can enjoy quiet time before participating in creative play and other early childhood education activities. We focus on enhancing key skills such as social interaction, creativity, and problem-solving. Children engage in developmental activities that promote their growth and prepare them for a successful school day.

Benefits of Before School Care for Children

  • Safe and Secure Setting

    Children benefit from a safe and secure environment that prioritises their well-being. Our strict safety protocols and trained staff ensure a protected space where kids can start their day confidently.

  • Healthy Start to the Day

    By providing a nutritious breakfast, children receive the energy and nutrients they need to engage actively and focus better during their school day. This helps support their overall health and readiness for learning.

  • Smooth Transition to School

    Before school care helps children transition smoothly from home to school. Structured routines and activities help ease any morning stress and set a positive tone for the day ahead.

  • Opportunities for Social Interaction

    Children have the chance to interact with peers, make new friends, and develop social skills in a supervised setting. This promotes teamwork, communication, and social development.

  • Developmental Activities

    Engaging in various activities, such as creative play and quiet time, supports early learning and cognitive development. These activities are designed to stimulate imagination, problem-solving, and other essential skills.

  • Christian-Based Values

    The integration of Christian values in the program provides children with a sense of community and moral guidance. This fosters a nurturing environment where values like kindness, respect, and empathy are encouraged.
