The Philosophy of YMCA Outside School Hours Care is based upon the YMCA Mission Statement with an emphasis on the Rights of the Child.  We strive to ensure our practices encompass:

• The dignity and intrinsic worth of all people regardless of age, gender, ethnicity or belief.
• The whole person, consisting of a body, mind and spirit, each of which is of equal importance.
• Healthy communities based on relationships between people which are characterised by love, understanding, mutual respect and a sense of belonging.
• Equality of opportunity and justice for all people.
• The diversity of people, communities and nations.
• Acceptance of personal responsibility.

Our complete Philosophy and Goals can be found in both the YMCA OSHC Policy and Procedure Manual and Family Handbook. (Family Downloads)
