Woden Community Service (WCS) provides quality before school, after school and school holiday programs for children in Preschool to Year 6.

Evelyn Scott Out of School Hours Care (OSHC) provides high-quality care that promotes learning and development with particular emphasis on play, social interactions, recreation and reflection. At Evelyn Scott OSHC, our programs celebrate diversity and recognise that play, fun, and humour are vital to school age care. Our educators also recognise the importance of building respectful relationships with children, families, the community and the environment.

Before School Care

Our Before School Care program caters for children of all ages, from Preschool to Year 6. We serve a nutritious breakfast and offer inside and outdoor activities to engage your child’s brain as they start their day.

Our Before School Care program operates out of the school gym. Our educators escort children in Preschool to the preschool space and Kindergarten children to their classroom. All other children make their own way to their room. 

After School Care

Our After School Care program caters for children of all ages, from Preschool to Year 6. We serve a nutritious snack for afternoon tea and offer an inclusive environment with a focus on building children’s social skills, resilience and sustainability. Children can participate in leisure and recreation activities such as art, games, gardening, cooking, drama and more. 

School Holiday Program

Our service at Evelyn Scott provides a school holiday program for children in Preschool to Year 6. During school holidays, we provide a blend of excursions, incursions and in-service activities. Our program caters for all families and mimics a home like environment. We serve a nutritious snack for afternoon tea and ask families to provide morning tea and lunch for their child.

The educational program and list of activities offered are available on the Monday of week 6 of each school term.

Bookings for Summer 2024/2025 School Holiday Program open at 10am on Monday 18th November 2024.
