Kensington Public School OOSH Care recognises the importance of the primary-aged years of a child’s life and that play is paramount for healthy development. Our program embraces the unique differences and holistic needs of children by facilitating experiences that guide and foster connectedness, wellbeing, identity, learning and communication.
We provide challenging, interesting, age-appropriate and inclusive experiences that encourage learning through play in a safe and enjoyable environment. Our program is designed to reflect the ever-changing interests, strengths and needs of children, families and the community. During their stay at the centre, children are provided with a range of stimulating planned experiences that align with My Time Our Place Learning Outcomes, including art and craft, cooking, sport and gross motor activities, drama and music, multicultural and community experiences. In addition to programmed activities, children are supported to engage in freely chosen play and leisure.
Kensington Public School OOSH Care assess the risks in our environment will give us an opportunity to identify, manage and eliminate risks. A risk assessment process can be used to identify where changes need to occur and how the changes can be implemented to ensure the safety for all children and Educators. These risk assessments are shared with all Educators participating in the activities, to ensure they are equipped with the knowledge to mitigate risk to children and work towards bringing about the desired outcomes whilst running activities
All educators employed by KPSOOSH Care contribute to the development of the weekly program to ensure it remains exciting and diverse. Each educator brings their own skills, passions and perspectives to programming whilst always placing your child’s wants, interests and needs at the centre of all their activities. Children also directly contribute to KPSOOSH Care’s program through structured and unstructured verbal engagement with educators, written feedback and group brainstorming sessions.
Kensington Public School OOSH Care thrives on reflective practice. In addition to the collaborative approach to programming, we take that engages educators and children. We encourage families and the community to give feedback on and contribute to the development of our program.
