Our Philosophy
At Macgregor Outside School Hours Care, we prioritise a caring and secure environment that embraces diversity and equity. We value the education of families' values, beliefs, and traditions in shaping a child's sense of belonging.

Embracing each child's uniqueness, we adopt a holistic approach to planning and collaboration, fostering secure and respectful relationships among children, educators, school community, and families. Through authentic documentation and reflective practice, our team creates a meaningful program that caters to all. Our multi-tiered leadership model enables continuous improvement through reflection, analysis, and cyclic planning.
