The Y Queensland stands together with all people regardless of age, gender, ethnicity, or belief.
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 Gabbinbar Outside School Hours Care (OSHC) Service. About the service YMCA Gabbinbar Outside School Hours Care Service is based at Gabbinbar State School in Centenary Heights and welcomes all families of the Gabbinbar community. YMCA Gabbinbar OSHC is licensed for 100 children and operates from 6.30am to 9.00am and 3.00pm to 6.00pm Monday to Friday during school terms, and Vacation Care operates from 6.30am to 6.00pm during all school holidays.
YMCA Gabbinbar OSHC offers a wide range of fun, stimulating, and appropriate programs that reflect real-world experiences and home settings. This helps encourage a sense of community amongst the children, facilitates leadership skill development, and allows your child to practice social skills in a supported and caring environment.
Programs and activities are aligned with the YMCA Mission – to provide opportunities for children to grow in body, mind, and spirit - underpinned by our values of Honesty, Caring, Respect, and Responsibility. We blend this philosophy with the National Quality Framework 'My Time Our Place' and Gabbinbar State School's educational principles to develop appropriate, engaging, and fun activities for your child whilst in our care.
