Before School Care

SAFE

All School’s Out programmes are accredited by the Ministry of Social Development ensuring regulatory compliance and Staff:Child ratios are maintained.

FUN

We aim to provide programmes that are fun and exciting for the children we look after. Activities are designed to encourage participation and engagement.

QUALITY

Don’t comprise on quality when it comes to the care of your precious children. School’s Out is an award winning provider of OSCAR care.

Our Before School Care service is available at many of our centres to support busy families and parents with early work starts. All children must be brought into the centre and signed in by a parent or caregiver, in line with Ministry of Social Development policies and procedures. This ensures a proper handover of care, giving you peace of mind that your child’s safety and well-being are fully looked after.

Most centres provide breakfast to help energise your child for the day ahead. If a centre is unable to provide breakfast, your child is welcome to bring a packed breakfast to enjoy at the centre. Please ensure your child arrives before 8:00 am if you would like them to have breakfast with us.

Quiet activities will be available for your child until it’s time to go to school. We ensure every child arrives safely and on time. If the school is not on the centre grounds, children will be transported in one of our vans. For schools within walking distance, staff accompany the children using the ‘walking school bus’ model, maintaining strict staff-to-child ratios throughout the walk.
