At OSHClub, before and after school care is more than a service — it’s a springboard. A place where kids thrive, friendships grow, and curiosity is always encouraged. 

OSHClub is proud to run the ‘Adventure Program’ at their before and after school care services. The Adventure Program is an industry leading framework designed to nurture children’s potential through play.

Play-based learning fosters children’s growth and wellbeing and is a fundamental right of a child. Through play, children can learn to express themselves, learn how to interact with others and reach key developmental milestones, all whilst playing and having fun with friends!

Kids can kick start their day at the 'Rise then Shine' morning program which offers energising activities and a nutritious breakfast to set kids up for a positive start to their school day.

The fun continues after school at the 'Stay and Play' afternoon program where children can participate in fun activities, build close friendships and wind down after a busy day at school.

Whether they're gearing up for a serious soccer tournament with 'Super Sports' or solving puzzles with 'Brain Boosters', OSHClub's adventures enable kids to do what they love and discover new interests, all whilst making friends outside of the classroom!

Rest assured that your kids are having a ball with friends at OSHClub where glitter flies, and imaginations soar. A place where screens are off, and kids are switched on! Where you avoid school peak hour, and they get peak play hours.

OSHClub is the place where play meets potential.
