OUT-OF-SCHOOL-CARE PARENT SURVEY - ST THERESA'S SCHOOL |
Kelly Club After School Care
Dear Parents and Caregivers of St Theresa's School,
Kelly Club are considering running an After School Care programme from St Theresa's School.
To ensure that the programme is viable we need to gauge parent interest to see how many families might be interested in using the service.
Kelly Club provides OSCAR after-school care programmes throughout New Zealand. Our aim is to provide not just ‘a childcare facility’, but to create a safe environment where children can have fun and benefit from in a number of ways.
Our OSCAR programmes are focused on science and discovery, sports, cooking, art and craft activities and homework support as well as structured ‘free-time’ around a busy day at school. These activities are incorporated into themed subjects each week that give children the opportunity to extend their learning outside of the school classroom. We believe it is important that children get the opportunity to enjoy play and engage with friends, while being under the supervision of quality staff, during out of school care programmes.
