Out of School Hours Care

Phew! We’re just coming down from an exciting and fun filled vacation care program. We had such a great time at OOSH during vacation care we can’t wait for the next school holidays. We recently reflected on the highpoints and it brough a smile to our faces. Friendships were forged and good times had throughout the two-week program. Our highlights included the Easter Party. What fun we had making Easter baskets and bunny ears and donning them to go on an Easter egg hunt. The Petting Zoo gave us the opportunity to learn about, touch and feed farm animals. The experience left us feeling all warm and fuzzy inside. Seeing Dogman at Reading Cinema made us laugh, while Junior Architects got us thinking and constructing a tall tower and buildings together. With only six weeks until the next vacation care, we’re presently planning a program to keep the fun and laughter going. I hope that your child will join in the fun these next school holidays.

Mothers, grandmothers and godmothers were all invited to our Mother’s Day afternoon tea. Our preschoolers helped with the preparations by making Lemon Myrtle biscuits for the afternoon snack. Every child made a small gift, a key chain that could be carried by their mum as a constant reminder of them. We made sure that every mum received their gift even if they couldn’t make the event.

The event was held in the MBH yard. It was a relaxed and informal occasion that was enjoyed and appreciated by all that could attend. We know that our mums are busy and dedicated people who do a wonderful job of balancing their family and work commitments. We hope that all our mums had a Happy Mother’s Day.
