Before/After School Care - What Organisations Run It In Your Area?

[lilima]

You could call Cobaw about Family Day Care for after school time.

ETA we are the next town over from you and there is an independent one here the services Holy Cross and a few other schools. It is run through Twin Oaks. They pick the kids up in a bus and they are based at the uniting church opposite IGA.

A company called Extend run before and after school care as well as a school holiday program at our school. The SHP is open to kids from outside our school, not sure about ASC, don't know how that would work?!

Thanks for all your input everyone - really useful!!!

I'm meeting with the school principal tomorrow to pick his brains about what the stumbling blocks were last year regarding outsourcing to a different venue last year.

Have a vague plan in mind to use the village hall (across the road from school so no transport required), staffed by a private provider and apply for funds for equipment etc. from council and/or a charitable trust/foundation.

Wish me luck!
