Kensington Public School OOSH

tive, language and social/ emotional needs are identified and met. We provide challenging, interesting, age-appropriate and inclusive experiences that encourage creativity in an 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. Additionally, children are supported to engage in freely chosen play and leisure activities. The educators employed by KPSOOSH Care have experience and knowledge in working with children and place your child’s wants, interests and needs at the centre of all their activities. Educators treat each child with equity, dignity and respect supporting resilience and self-esteem whilst upholding the rights of the child at all times. Most educators hold current first aid, anaphylaxis and asthma management qualifications and key staff members have a child protection qualification. At least one staff member holding a current first aid certificate is on the premises for duty at all times. The centre is committed to extending our educators skills and knowledge through providing ongoing opportunities for professional development. At KPSOOSH Care we embrace the diversity of our community and the value of incorporating others’ beliefs and views into the delivery of our service. We work collaboratively with management, educators, children, families and the community to assist in meeting the needs of all. We value families’ expertise in raising their child/ren and share decision making concerning their child/ren. KPSOOSH Care is a nonprofit association run by a voluntary Parent Management Committee. We thrive on reflective practice and actively encourage children, families and the community to participate in decision making throughout the centre.
