After-School Care

Our After-School Care service provides a nurturing, safe, and engaging environment for children once the school day ends. Our qualified educators offer a blend of structured learning, creative play, and relaxation, ensuring every child feels supported and inspired. Children can participate in a variety of activities, from arts and crafts to sports and group games. We also provide a quiet space for homework, with staff available to assist and encourage good study habits. Our focus is on fostering social skills, teamwork, and self-confidence in a friendly, inclusive setting.

  • Homework Support: Supervised study time with help available.
  • Healthy Snacks: Nutritious, allergy-aware options provided daily.
  • Flexible Attendance: Book full-time, part-time, or casual sessions.

We keep parents updated with regular feedback and are always available to discuss your child’s progress. With Supporto, families gain peace of mind and children enjoy a place to thrive after school.

Our Approach to Safety

Safety is at the heart of everything we do at Supporto. We understand that entrusting your child to our care is a significant decision, and we are committed to maintaining the highest standards of safety and wellbeing.

All staff members undergo comprehensive background checks, including Working With Children Checks and reference verification, before joining our team. In addition, every carer is required to maintain up-to-date first aid and CPR certifications, and they participate in regular training sessions on child protection, emergency response, and safe supervision practices.

How Do I Know If After-School Care Is Right for Me?

Choosing after-school care is a personal decision that depends on your family’s unique needs, routines, and goals. Here are some questions and considerations to help you decide if after-school care is the right fit for you and your child:

  • Do you need support during the hours between school finishing and when you finish work? After-school care provides a safe, supervised environment during this crucial time, giving parents peace of mind.
  • Would your child benefit from extra social opportunities? Our program encourages friendships, teamwork, and social skills through group activities and play.
  • Does your child need help with homework or structured routines? We offer supervised homework time and support, helping children develop good study habits.
  • Are you looking for a balance of fun, learning, and relaxation for your child? Our after-school care combines creative projects, sports, and downtime so children can unwind and recharge.
  • Do you value flexibility? We offer full-time, part-time, and casual bookings to suit changing family schedules.

If you find yourself answering “yes” to any of these questions, after-school care could be a great solution for your family.

We welcome primary school-aged children, typically from 5 to 12 years old. Our program is designed to cater to the developmental needs of this age group, with activities and supervision tailored to both younger and older children. If you have a child slightly outside this age range, please contact us to discuss your specific circumstances and we’ll do our best to accommodate.

Yes, we offer flexible attendance options to suit your family’s needs. Whether you require regular after-school care or only need support on certain days, you can book casual sessions as needed. We recommend booking in advance where possible to secure your spot, but we also do our best to accommodate last-minute requests.

Yes, we provide healthy and nutritious snacks every afternoon. Our menu is designed to be both appealing and balanced, and we take all allergies and dietary restrictions seriously. If your child has specific dietary needs, please let us know during enrollment so we can ensure their requirements are safely met.

Enrolling is easy and designed to be stress-free. Simply contact our team to discuss your needs. We’ll guide you through the enrolment process, which typically involves completing an enrolment form, providing key documents (such as your child’s birth certificate, immunisation records, and any medical management plans), and confirming your preferred days.

Once your application is reviewed and a place is available, you’ll receive an offer of place to accept and finalise your booking. Our team is available to answer any questions and help you access any eligible subsidies.

Safety is our top priority. All staff are thoroughly background-checked, hold current first aid qualifications, and receive ongoing training in child protection and emergency procedures. Our facilities are regularly inspected and maintained to the highest standards. We also have clear sign-in and sign-out procedures, and only authorised individuals can collect your child. If you have any concerns or special requirements, please speak with us so we can ensure your child’s wellbeing at all times.
