Out of School Hours Care | 5-12 Yrs Independence

Growing Independence

Outside of school hours, children’s learning and sense of responsibility can flourish when they have the freedom and choice to engage in activities they enjoy with supporting educators. Our out of school hours care programs ensure school-aged children are provided with safe and fun environments to develop their social skills, confidence and personalities.

Why choose a Lifelong Learning Centre for out of school hours care?

While structured educational programs in classrooms accounts for a significant portion of academic progression, so much of what your child learns from a social, emotional and physical perspective comes from outside school influences. Lifelong Learning Centre’s out of school hours programs provide an environment for your child to relax, enjoy new social circles and engage in fun learning experiences.

We call this phase ‘Growing Independence’, where children are encouraged to:

Collaborate and consult with educators to build a sense of belonging and connectedness
Develop emotional confidence through participation, open communication and practicing mindfulness
Gain a sense of community by forming relationships with educators and other children
Communicate, share, cooperate and contribute
Progress foundational learning by exploring possibilities and problem solving, and lateral and divergent thinking
