Annandale North Out Of School Hours Care Association
Our Philosophy
We see childhood as a unique and valuable stage of life where we are committed to providing enriching and happy experiences.
Children are encouraged to express themselves and direct their experiences while being supported to take responsibility for their actions, words, and decisions.
Open communication and positive partnerships with families, educators, children, and the community is seen as essential in providing the best care for children.
ANOOSHCA feels strongly about providing opportunities for children to be able to slow down, relax, and reflect.

Waitlist or Enrol at ANOOSHCA
If you would like to waitlist for regular before/after school care sessions, please submit a waitlist request HERE
If you would like to enrol so you can access vacation care or casual before/after school care (where places are available), please submit an enrolment HERE.
All ANPS families can access our vacation care program – you do not need to have a regular before/after school care booking to use vacation care.
Care Alternatives
Children can waitlist a maximum of 12 months prior to their commencement at ANPS.
Please note that there is often a two-year or more wait from the time a waitlist application is lodged to the time that regular care can be offered. However, WHOOSH Care may be able to provide care for your child until such time as ANOOSHCA can offer positions.
Commitment to Child Safety
ANOOSHCA is committed to the safety, wellbeing, and empowerment of all children and young people. We follow the Child Safe Standards and work hard to create a strong culture of child safety throughout our organization.
We have zero tolerance for child abuse and aim to create environments where children feel respected, valued, and heard. We take all concerns seriously and have clear policies and procedures to respond to and report suspected abuse.
We are always working to improve how we protect children. This includes making sure Aboriginal children, children from diverse cultural backgrounds, and children with disabilities all feel safe, included, and culturally respected.
Acknowledgement of Country
We acknowledge the Gadigal people of the Eora nation, the traditional educators and caretakers of the land on which we gather, learn, and play.
We recognize and respect their deep connection to this land, its waters, and its skies.
We commit to fostering a community that values Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures, stories, and traditions.
