Tuggerah Out of School Hours Care 2.45

Berkeley Vale Neighbourhood Centre Inc's Tuggerah Out of School Hours Care being Tuggerah Before & After School Vacation Care (summarised as TOOSHC) believes that each child has the right to be an active member of the community in which they live, to express their opinions and have their views considered in any decision that may affect them.
We believe that the best interests of the children and their right to play, lean and develop in a safe and nurturing environment is the primary consideration in all the decision making at the service and is visible in the actions, interactions and daily work with the children.
We acknowledge that parents and families are the child’s primary nurturers and that respectful collaborative relationships strengthen the capacity and efforts of families and SAC services to support their children and promote each child’s health and wellbeing.
We believe that the right to equitable access and participation in the community is clearly visible in all aspects of service delivery.
TOOSHC believes that children have the right to have their individual and cultural identity recognised and respected and we value Australia’s Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures as a core part of the nation’s history, present and future.
TOOSHC has a number of goals on which our service is based. These goals are based on the outcomes for children outlined in the National Quality Standard for Early Childhood Education and Care and School Aged Care.
