KPSOOSH is an approved Childcare Provider registered with the NSW Department of Education’s Early Childhood Education and Care Directorate (ECED). Our centre is licensed to care for up to 150 children per session for Before School Care, After School Care and Vacation Care.
Our OSHC centre offers a Jiu Jitsu program in collaboration with Sensei Carmen.
This program focuses on teaching children valuable self-defence skills, while also promoting respect for themselves and others. Through the guidance of Sensei Carmen, children build confidence, develop physical and mental strength, and explore an interest they might not have had access to otherwise. As they progress through the different belt levels, children not only improve their skills but also learn the importance of perseverance and goal-setting. Aligned with the My Time, Our Place (MTOP) v2 principles, the program encourages children’s sense of identity, well-being, and engagement, while fostering positive relationships and a growth mindset
The Gardening Club, which began last term under the guidance of our wonderful chef and educator Rhonda, has quickly blossomed into a favorite activity for many children. With a focus on hands-on learning and environmental care, the club allows children to plant, nurture, and harvest a variety of fruits, vegetables, and flowers. Through this initiative, they’ve learned about sustainability, teamwork, and the joy of watching their hard work grow.
