Welcoming your child with open arms
We care about helping your child transition into OSHC. Children need to feel like they belong. We are dedicated to making sure every child feels happy, safe and included.
Bring them in for an initial visit
OSHC transition becomes easier when your child feels like they’re in a familiar setting.
We encourage you to bring your child in for a visit beforehand to show them around, meet our friendly team, and make some new friends.
Preparing for your child’s first day
There are plenty of simple things you can do to help ease your child’s transition into OSHC. We recommend that for their first day you bring along the following:
- A favourite toy or blanket
- Change of clothes
- A list of their favourite activities (you can download an All About Me form here and bring this in with you).
If your child has a medical condition
It’s important that we know of any of your child’s medical requirements so we can provide the best possible care for them. If applicable, we ask that you bring:
- Your child's medication (e.g. Ventolin for Asthma, EpiPen for Anaphylaxis, Zyrtec for Allergies, etc)
- A completed Medical Management Plan
- Any relevant paperwork from your doctor.
Picking and dropping off your child
We ask that only primary guardians pick up and drop off children on their first day.
If you need someone else to pick up or drop off your child at any time, please ensure you’ve given authorisation for them to do so via Kidsoft. If you require any assistance, please contact your specific service.
