At Epping Heights OOSH we aim to provide a safe and nurturing environment for your children. We are committed to providing a quality, fun program that allows the children to choose how their time will be spent at OOSH. The program includes a variety of arts and crafts, activities, games and sport on a daily basis. Theme weeks are organised based on the interests of the children. A quiet time in the afternoon is provided for children listed on the 'homework list' to complete their homework.
