After school care program

What is an After School Care Program?

After School Care was established to provide quality care for primary school aged children in a supervised, relaxed, safe and fun environment. The programs cater for parents who work, study or due to other commitments require After School Care for their children.

They also cater for parents who would like their children to play with other children or participate in the varied recreation activities after school.

The eight (8) After School Programs are partially funded by the Commonwealth Dept. Human Services & Health and are sponsored by the City of Kingston. The programs operate from 3:30pm at the completion of the school day until 6:15pm.

Throughout the school term, the After School Care program staff provide children with afternoon tea as well as opportunities to participate in a varied recreation program ranging from structured and unstructured indoor/outdoor games, art, craft, cooking and special events.

Many parents will be interested to know that an After School Care Program is conducted by Kingston Council at Edithvale Primary School.

The program, with two staff, is open to primary aged children and the hours of operation are from 3:30pm to 6:15pm on normal school days with allowances for Curriculum Days as well.

Parents wishing to enrol their children are asked to contact the school office or Kingston Council.
