Ardtornish OSHC is housed in bright modern accommodations with a wealth of resources. Our programs are child focused.
We believe learning through play is key for fostering a child's development and supports them to reach their full potential. We provide enjoyable and diverse activities in a safe, caring and supportive environment that both encourages and stimulates each child's growth and development.
Programming for children is documented via our service created Individual learning Experiences and can be found within the service on the sign in desk, or any time upon request. Weekly reflections are also recorded and can be found both in service by way of our term programming diary and the page link above.
