after school care programming

[oziwi]

At the moment we do individual and group obs. I've heard that ooshc services didn't have to do obs, but we do it any way. Every week we have team meetings and do our evaluations, from our obs. We plan our programs, discuss our QIP and everything else that needs to be discussed. Some days are better than others, and some days you wonder where that 3 hrs went to cause your either deep in discussion with a bunch of kids or theres a new activity that EVERYONE wants to do. I know it sounds like we have a lot but it's only at the beginning and end do you realise how many kids there are. With such a big service comes a lot of space, and I have to say our school is really good at allowing us to use rooms when we need them. I suppose we're pretty lucky

Hi there

Just wondering if i could get some help on doing an OSHC program. How the layout should be, do i do child observations ect. Im finding it hard as all the children want to do after school is watch tv play the wii or computer games, there not really interested in arts and craft even if i do plan for it. I seem to do lots of planning but the kids arnt interested.

Hi Deahnn
I know its hard to pull kids away from the box but turn it off and only have it on specific days. Why don't you start the craft off and tell the kids you need their help to finish it off. It's amazing for me when I get 12 yr olds come over and want to do what your doing. Today I got asked to play tip with some year 5 and 6 students and I said only if the younger ones could play too, they had no problem with that. I think its more about joining in and showing them that play no matter how old you are matters.

Hi

Hi Rose,

In regards to before and after school care templates, the templates we have available can be edited within the MS Word format to accommodate your needs. Most of the templates have a focus on early childhood services however, we have provided the MS Word format, editable version so you can also edit the EYLF for MTOP. Also, since EYLF and MTOP and very similar most of our templates can be used within a before and after school care setting.

Just wanted to add that you can choose any of the templates to put together to create your portfolio.

Here is another portfolio template set for OOSH services as well:

Hope this helps!
