The YMCA OSHC (Outside School Hours Care) program provides care to school-aged children before and after school, as well as in the school holidays. This awesome childcare service can offer support to your family by being available at those times of the day when you really need it, and by giving you what you require most – a safe and secure place for your cherished young ones to be cared for.

Fun and Educational Experiences for School Kids

At YMCA OSHC, children will be presented with a multitude of opportunities to explore their world around them and to build lasting friendships with others. The YMCA embraces the diversity of the Brisbane community, welcoming families of all backgrounds and abilities with their inclusive practices, whilst teaching children tolerance and acceptance of all cultures. Events such as cultural awareness weeks are common practice and are an incredible opportunity for kids to learn about the different beliefs and traditions of other communities. Coupled with their inclusive values, the YMCA OSHC delivers a wide range of age-appropriate programs that are filled with fun and engaging activities, laughter, imagination and creativity so that when children come to the YMCA OSHC – they’ll want to come again tomorrow!

Affordable and Flexible Outside School Hours Care Programs

Cost is often a factor when looking at childcare options. As the YMCA is a charity, before and after school care in their OSHC program is affordable. The fees you pay are reinvested into the service to ensure that high quality toys and equipment are plentiful and nutritious breakfasts and afternoon teas are provided for every child attending. Being able to choose a combination of as many mornings and/or afternoons as required provides families with flexibility in having their childcare fit in around their commitments, not the other way around. YMCA OSHC is also a government approved childcare service, so additional rebates may be available to eligible families.
