YMCA Outside School Hours Care (OSHC) provides fun, stimulating and safe care for primary and secondary school children before and after school.
At OSHC, children have the opportunity to participate in cooking, sport, music, art, dance and so much more.
The Y Queensland's childcare services have been at the heart of Australian communities for more than 40 years, with our first early learning service opening in Brisbane in 1977 after we identified the need for childcare that focused on helping children grow in body, mind and spirit.
We are currently recruiting for OSHC Educators on a casual basis to join our YMCA Kedron Outside School Hours Care (OSHC) Service.
