Cowes Primary YMCA Outside School Hours Care

Welcome to Cowes Primary YMCA Outside School Hours Care! Located at 177 Settlement Road in Cowes, Australia, our institution is a point of interest for families seeking quality care for their children outside of school hours.

Starting on Monday, July 11, 2022, our OSHC program at Cowes Primary offers a range of engaging activities and opportunities for children between the ages of five and 12 who are enrolled in primary school. As part of the YMCA Children's Programs, we are proud to be part of the Cowes Primary School community on Phillip Island, Victoria.

Our program is designed to complement your child's school experience, providing them with a chance to socialize with peers and develop important life skills. We offer a variety of planned and spontaneous activities tailored to each child's individual interests and ideas.

In addition to our engaging program, we also provide healthy and delicious snacks, including afternoon tea after school. Your child's safety and wellbeing are our highest priorities, and we are an accredited child-safe organization with safeguarding and quality standards embedded in all our services.

During school holidays, we offer a YMCA School Holiday Program based at the Phillip Island Leisure Centre. This program provides even more opportunities for fun and learning outside of school hours.

To support our families, we offer both permanent and casual booking options. Please note that casual bookings do incur an additional cost. The current daily fees for our OSHC services at Cowes Primary School can be found in the table below, effective from Monday, August 21, 2023.

Our programs also qualify for the Federal Government's Child Care Subsidy, which helps eligible families access approved and registered child care providers. This subsidy can significantly reduce your out-of-pocket expenses. To find out more information and generate an estimate of your subsidy payments, we recommend visiting the Services Australia website and using their Child Care Subsidy Calculator.

Enrolments and bookings are managed through our online system called My Family Lounge. Our "how to enrol" page provides step-by-step instructions on completing your child's enrolment and bookings. If you have any questions or need assistance, our friendly team is here to help. Simply fill out our enquiry form, and someone will get back to you promptly.

We also invite you to explore nearby School Holiday Programs that may be of interest to your family.
