Do you need a safe, stimulating environment for your children before school commences each day?
We offer many Before School Care services across Tasmania and Victoria. Most of these operate on-site at the schools. In all cases, children are escorted by experienced staff to their classrooms ready for the school day to begin.
These services generally operate from 7am onwards. However some services commence earlier. We are happy to advise if we can offer a Before School Care service at your child's school:
Skills for life with Before School Care.
Growth and Independence.
Learning to be responsible is a skill that takes time and plenty of practice. For our older children we will usually invite them to assist in running an activity or game or help with packing away items and cleaning up. All of these tasks help children to understand the role of responsibility away from their own homes.
Life Skills.
The learning doesn’t stop when children get to Before School Care, it simply continues in a different way. Children learn important life skills such as decision making, problem solving, empathy, resilience and communication. Through activities creating art and craft, solving puzzles or playing sport children will also learn how to solve problems and be creative thinkers – skills that are useful throughout life.
Sharing Skills and New Friends!
It’s important for children to learn how to share and be part of a group. At Before School Care with Stepping Stones they do both of these things on a regular basis. Plus the old saying “sharing is caring” stands true with kids learning empathetic skills while making friends along the way.
