Outside of School Hours Care

Outside School Hours Care (OSHC/OOSH) services play a crucial role in providing quality care and educational programming for school-aged children. To meet the stringent requirements set out by regulatory bodies, OSHC services must deliver an educational program that aligns with the My Time, Our Place - Framework for School Age Care in Australia. This framework emphasises the importance of providing children with opportunities to engage in a range of play-based and recreational activities that support their learning and development. However, managing these programs while balancing other operational demands—such as juggling staff ratios, handling enrolments, and coordinating extra-curricular activities—can be challenging. Butler Diaries offers a range of early childhood diaries and resources specifically designed to streamline these processes, helping OSHC services meet their compliance obligations efficiently.

One of the key challenges for OSHC services is maintaining detailed and accurate records for compliance purposes. Butler Diaries' OSHC compliance diaries are designed to simplify this task, providing educators and administrators with an easy-to-use tool for tracking essential information such as attendance, staff ratios, and communication. Our compliance diaries are meticulously crafted to ensure that all necessary documentation is in line with the requirements of the My Time, Our Place framework, making it easier for OSHC services to demonstrate their adherence to regulatory standards during assessments and audits. By using Butler Diaries, you can reduce the time spent on record-keeping, allowing you to focus more on delivering high-quality care and educational experiences for the children.

In addition to compliance diaries, Butler Diaries also offers programming and reflection diaries tailored for OSHC services. These diaries are invaluable for educators who need to plan and document educational programs that cater to the diverse needs and interests of school-aged children. Our programming diaries provide a structured format for outlining weekly activities, setting learning goals, and reflecting on the effectiveness of the educational program. The reflection sections within these diaries encourage continuous improvement, enabling educators to assess their practices and make necessary adjustments to better support children's learning outcomes. With Butler Diaries' programming and reflection diaries, you can ensure that your OSHC service not only meets but exceeds the expectations set out by the My Time, Our Place framework.

Managing an OSHC service involves balancing many different responsibilities, from ensuring that staff ratios are met to coordinating a variety of extra-curricular activities. Butler Diaries understands these challenges and provides a comprehensive range of resources designed to make your job easier. Our diaries, along with other tools such as transport logs, help cut through the confusion, saving you valuable time and effort.
