Outside School Hours Care

Meriden’s Before School and After School Care programs are operated by Camp Australia, a leading provider of high-quality OSHC services. The programs offer a safe and caring environment for children to play, form friendships and create positive memories. A host of varied and fun activities are included in the programs and breakfast and afternoon tea are served daily. Homework and quiet time are also encouraged and supported to ensure children are ready to return home at the end of a busy day.

Enrolment, bookings and payment for the Before School and After School Care programs are made directly with Camp Australia. A range of packages are available to suit various schedules. For further information or to register for the programs, visit Camp Australia’s website at www.campaustralia.com.au
