News from OSH Club
Dear Parents,
We are very excited to be a part of our new National Programs that are launched and created for children. Our new programs consist of amazing adventures and extraordinary experiences during play.
Our new morning program, Rise then Shine, is designed to help children prepare their breakfast whilst also promoting healthy eating. They learn the basic skills like peeling, grating, measuring and mixing ingredients in the kitchen.
Our afternoon program Stay and Play at OSHClub provides adventures and experiences in active sports. Children will make new friends and create meaningful connections to stay and play with us. Snack Squad is allowing children to choose and cook their snacks at OSHclub.
Please feel free to see our children’s creativity and skills at OSHClub.
Our Vacation Care Program bookings will open soon. Feel free to book your children in to have unlimited fun during school holiday. Come and meet our friendly team at OSHClub for any queries or contact us on 0431 310 180.
