We provide Before School Care, After School Care and School Holiday Programs at Amaroo School.
At Communities at Work’s Out of School Hours Care, we are focused on children having fun. Our educators collaborate with children to ensure play, leisure and recreational opportunities are safe and meaningful.
Before School Care at Amaroo
Our before school care program at Amaroo School operates from 7.00 am until school begins. Before school care is about helping children have the best possible start to their school day, by offering fun recreational activities and a light nutritional breakfast.
After School Care at Amaroo
Our after school care program at Amaroo School operates during school term from the conclusion of school until 6.00 pm daily. Each program is uniquely responsive to the interests of the children, the school environment and the local community. We provide the children with a nutritious afternoon tea and offer a range of recreational games and activities designed to allow your child to have fun.

Why Families Choose Amaroo School OSHC?
The initial reason why I enrolled my children in Amaroo OSHC was to provide them more opportunities to interact with children of varied age groups and to expand their communication skills.
I have noticed that in the 2 years of my children being enrolled in Amaroo OSHC, they have improved their assertiveness and self-advocacy. Their anxieties surrounding school slowly dissipated and blossomed into confidence and excitement.
Knowing that our children are well looked after in our absence gives us the peace of mind to indulge in self-care and pursue our own personal hobbies.
– Amaroo School OSHC family
We choose OSHC because we know that our children are going to be picked up from their classroom and taken safely to after school care. We feel our kids are safe in your care.
There has been occasion when Amaroo after school care staff have called us when they detected our child was unwell (when the school staff have not picked up on the signs). This is because they know our children well and know when something is not quite right.
I appreciate there being older staff there who have many years experience with children.
