United Nations Convention on the “Rights of the child” 

“The child has the right to rest and leisure, to engage in play and recreational activities and to participate in cultural and artistic life”. Article 31

At Woronora River Public School Before and After School Care Centre Inc (B&A) we believe that outside of school hours, children need the freedom and time to play through structured and unstructured activities. We respect children as individuals and work with them to develop programs that cater to their interests and development. We believe that children should have the freedom to participate in planned activities or to make their own fun. In addition to structured activities, we aim to provide unstructured, open-ended creative play so that children have opportunities to explore with all their senses, create imaginary worlds and negotiate with each other to create a playful environment.

We aim to create a place for everyone to feel a sense of belonging and to feel respected as individuals. At B&A we provide an environment where positive behaviour is encouraged through the use of the CARE practices, with respect for ourselves, each other and the educators a particular focus. We aim to make B&A a place where children feel safe, where they may play with friends, have fun, get messy, make noise and mostly find avenues to be active and creative.

We support our great kids on their journey to become great adults.

At B&A we aim to:

- Provide a program that nurtures the development of life skills and complements each child’s experiences, opportunities and relationships at school, at home and in the community.
- Provide equal opportunities for children, parents and staff irrespective of their cultural background, disability, geographical location, religion or family income.
- Enable parents to pursue work, study, training or other activities, in the knowledge that their children are being well cared for in a safe, happy and comfortable environment.
-Value staff as individuals and acknowledge and utilise their unique skills and abilities.
