Our Philosophy

At Curly kids OOSH we provide a caring, safe and nurturing environment during before and after school care and vacation care.
We believe that each child has unique interests, strengths and abilities and we understand that children are capable and active contributors in their own learning and play.
Through our programs we encourage engagement, confidence, exploration and learning with the children being creative, physically active, connecting with nature, cooking, getting messy and of course having fun.
We are inclusive and we value children with diverse family backgrounds, abilities, additional needs and religious affiliations. Our educators strive to build warm and trusting relationships with families, children and the wider community so the children can feel a sense of belonging and respected as individuals.
We promote our core values by encouraging the children to be respectful, responsible and always strive to be their personal best during our time together at our place.
