Undertaking new care arrangements for the first time or changing services can be a very daunting process for any child and their family. Our service and educators understand that families need a quality OOSH centre that will support the increasing pressures of balancing work and family requirements. At The Scots College OOSH, your child will be cared for by our dedicated and qualified educators in a nurturing environment that is designed to be a home away from home. Our warm and friendly family of educators are here to form cherished relationships and bonds with your family over the coming years.<\/p>

Educators will lead each child on a daily journey of discovery, whilst encouraging children to be actively involved in age appropriate educational programs and group learning experiences. The Scots College OOSH will work in collaboration with families and the community to provide the best available care for your child.<\/p>

The Scots College OOSH is owned and operated by Keyorris PTY LTD, a small dedicated family company who own and operate OOSH centres & Long Daycare Centres in the Sutherland Shire, St.George and Eastern Suburbs.<\/p>

\u201cAs parents ourselves we know the challenges of raising children and working at the same time. With over 20 years\u2019 experience in the industry, our commitment to quality early education and care is paramount to us\u201d \u2013 Fiona Keyes (owner).<\/p>
