Essentials for Parents

What to Expect

At Epping North we celebrate kids being kids every day - sticky hands, wild imaginations and all. Come join a place where play is taken seriously and childhood is cherished.

❋ Intentional Structure

We blend guided moments, open exploration, and space to reflect—so the experience feels both focused and fluid.

❋ Collaborative Energy

Connection is a core part of the process. You’ll learn just as much from the group as from the content itself.

❋ Expert Facilitation

Led by experienced guides who know how to hold space, encourage participation, and keep things moving with purpose.

❋ A Supportive Space

Our events prioritize comfort, safety, and respect—so you can show up as you are and fully engage in the process.

How It Works

  • We are a not for profit, community based centre that provides Before and After School Care for the children of Epping North Public School and Vacation Care for the wider community. Our centre is managed and run by a voluntary parent committee. We are an approved centre, which gives parents the ability to access Child Care Subsidy (CCS) as a fee reduction.

    We constantly strive to provide the best quality of care for the children who attend our centre by providing a fun and interactive weekly program in a caring and nurturing environment. We have a team of dedicated staff who are both experienced and passionate about working with children.

    Our service meet National Quality Standards. The NQS sets a high national benchmark for early childhood education and care in Australia. It includes 7 quality areas that are important outcomes for the children.

    We acknowledge and pay respect the Australian Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the traditional custodians of the land where we live, play, and learn.

  • At Epping North OSHCP we pride ourselves on providing an integral service to the North Epping and surrounding Community. We welcome all students and their families, striving to create a positive and respectful environment for those at our centre. We celebrate our cultural diversity and the value it brings to our centre and community.

    ENOSHCP is dedicated to teaching key social skills through a play-based curriculum that responds to all children’s needs and interests. We encourage our Educators to share their unique personal skills and interests with the centre to engage with and guide the children’s development. The children are free to explore the environment and engage in activities that they find meaningful to them in order to develop a sense of autonomy and ownership as well as promote confidence in themselves and their abilities.

    We are strong advocates for the rights and safety of our children and aim to provide an enriching environment which fosters curiosity and diverse playing experiences. We pride ourselves on being a team of professional educators that act as positive role models to nurture the children into becoming valued members of our community. We uphold and support our school’s values of Respect, Responsibility and Resilience and endeavour to instil these values into the program and centre.

    As educators, our focus is on inclusivity, ensuring all children’s needs are met while supporting them in creating a program that aligns with the My Time Our Place learning framework. We aim to build genuine and collaborative relationships with the children and their families to ensure all voices are heard and contribute to the centre in meaningful ways.
