Our Philosophy

At West Ryde Before and After School Care, we are committed to providing high-quality care in a safe, inclusive and engaging environment where every child feels a strong sense of belonging.

We believe children learn and develop through play and that their voices matter. Children actively collaborate with us in the planning of our program, and their ideas, interests and perspectives are embedded in everything we do. Our approach is guided by the My Time, Our Place framework, supporting children in their journey of Being, Belonging and Becoming.

Child safety is at the heart of our service. We are committed to a child safe culture where every child's safety and wellbeing is a shared responsibility for our team, our families and our community.

We celebrate the diversity of our community and acknowledge the Wallumedegal people of the Eora Nation as the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we gather, learn and play. We pay respect to Elders past and present and are committed to inclusive practices that honour all cultures, backgrounds, beliefs, abilities and identities.
