Joshua and Jayden’s Mum says…the boys love coming to OSHC everday!

“The my OSHC team are fantastic! Its peace of mind knowing the two boys are in good hands. They are supplied with healthy food, their homework is competed when I come to pick them up and they are learning about nature and other topics within their designed educational program. The boys love coming to the OSHC every day and their happiness is the most important thing to me.”

**Prescott Principal says… my OSHC gives our families peace of mind.**

“The team at my OSHC provide Prescott Primary Northern and our families with the peace of mind that our children will continue to receive the care and attention we pride ourselves on during the school day when they are in OSHC.”

Former student Khyleesha says…I enjoyed every minute with them.

“I started going to my OSHC in 2013, when I was 7 years old. Here I am now in high school! I still pop in on the way home from high school to say hello to the staff. Last term I asked Allison If I could come back for vacation care to work as a volunteer – I now have my own my OSHC name badge. I enjoyed every minute I’ve been with them.”
