SOPA-OSHC is licensed to care for 45 school-aged children per day from 6.30 am – 9.00 am and 2.30 pm – 6.00 pm and the full day during Vacation Care. After school, the educators meet children at their school. As children arrive at SOPA-OSHC a healthy Afternoon Tea awaits them. Children are then provided with a Homework Hub where children and educators work together to spell, add, subtract, create and read their way through daily homework needs. This allows children to head home without the typical homework drama. After Homework Hub, the children are then divided into two groups for their afternoon Dance or Gymnastics lesson. Children have a ball and are returned to parents happy and contented.

During Vacation Care we head off for our daily nature walk to Robelle Domain around 9.30 am each morning. Ensure that you arrive before this time, with your sun-safe hat, sun-safe shirt, and closed-toe shoes to allow you to make the most of your time outdoors. Once children and educators return, the service is divided into two zones of learning; an Active Play and a Creative Play Zone. Two smaller groups are created and for the next four hours children learn through play within these groups; Prep to Grade 3 children and Grade 4 and above. Children will experience a two-hour Dance, Acting, and Gymnastics Workshop with educators from The Studio of Performing Arts – Springfield PLUS age-appropriate activities like slime making and art. During this time children are also able to create and adapt their own play within the Creative Zone.
