Enrolment and Attendance

Families are required to complete an Enrolment Form before any child is able to attend YMCA OSHC services. A meeting with service staff is available to families upon enrolment. This is an excellent opportunity for families to discuss with service staff what will help make their time with at YMCA OSHC enjoyable, particularly during the initial few weeks. 

Each newly enrolled family will receive a copy of a family information package, which includes a Family Handbook, detailing selected policies and conditions of enrolment. In addition families will be shown around the service and be given a rundown on basic operations such as staffing and programming.

If children have additional needs, a meeting will take place between relevant parties before the child commences.  Issues discussed will include level of support the child requires, necessary training of staff, environmental factors and sources of information and resources/support services that will ensure the best possible care of the child. 

This information will help us to meet children’s needs.  All information obtained through the enrolment procedures is kept in the strictest confidence and used only for the purposes for which it is obtained.
