Our Philosophy
  • Our practice is centred on play-based experiences that promote fun, learning and choice for children.
  • We recognise that play energises and enlivens us, renewing a sense of brightness whilst providing opportunities for children to experience moments towards their future successes.
  • We endeavour to value each child’s individuality in creating a safe space where a child can feel confident to use their imagination and build upon their belonging.
  • We seek to support positive experiences with healthy food to foster good food habits and provide energy for physical wellbeing and activities.
  • We openly encourage families to get involved and we actively plan towards community engagement, networking and contribution.
  • The National Quality Framework and My Time, Our Place framework principles, practices and outcomes guide our practice to nurture a positive learning environment.

Intereach OOSH has been rated as ‘meeting’ against the National Quality Standards, a rating system that benchmarks childcare services in Australia.
