PCYC Gold Coast – Miami school age care aims to provide a quality childcare service for the students of Miami State School and their families.
Our staff will encourage different kinds of play enabling children to acquire a range of skills needed for learning, healthy growth and social development. Our service will encourage the principles of good citizenship.
We believe that:
The primary focus of SAC must be the individual child in their middle childhood years.
Parents are the most important people in a child’s life.
Children learn through play by doing.
Children need to feel safe and secure in the child care environment.
The effective childcare worker focuses on thinking, processes, and has understanding of the children’s learning.
At PCYC Gold Coast-Miami SAC we will provide:
An environment for the children to enhance their creative and social skills by socializing with their peers.
A safe and developmentally appropriate program for school age children.
At before school care a nutritional breakfast, half hour of physical activity and planned craft activities.
At after school care a nutritional afternoon tea, a minimum of 1 hour of physical activity, planned sporting and art and craft activities.
A vacation care program which contains physical games planned sporting activities, art and craft activities, interesting incursions and excursions and a snack at afternoon tea.
Educators whose main focus is to treat children as an individual with individual needs and abilities.
Each child will have freedom of choice in their play.
Outdoor vigorous play that will enhance the child’s motor skills
Opportunities for children to pursue quiet activities.
