Get to Know the Service
Philosophy & Goals
We at Jamboree Heights Outside School Hours Care (JHOSHC) are a tight-knit community that are always looking for ways to push each other forward. The children, and the families associated with them, are a part of this community and are the reason that we strive for excellence within the service. The service aims to provide high quality care for all children that allows children to have fun, develop friendships, and build on life skills in a fun, safe and inclusive environment.
What we stand for:
​
Fun
-
We aim to be responsive to the desires of the kids and what they want to do.

We stay responsive and adaptable at all times to ensure a high quality program that is based on the children’s wants and needs.
Inclusivity
-
We understand that each child is unique. They all come with their own stories and we remain respectful of that.
-
We aim to provide opportunities for all children to participate in a way that is meaningful for them.
-
Provide the space for kids to grow in whatever way that may be.

We listen and respond to appropriate feedback to ensure the service is always moving forward.

We remain transparent as staff, and a community, to ensure everyone, including the children, never feel blindsided and instead are apart of the process of bettering our service.
