If your child needs quality care outside school hours, is between five and 12 years old, and enrolled in primary school – they will love YMCA Before and After School Programs.
About us
We're proud to be part of the Rosedale Primary School community in Rosedale, Victoria – where we offer YMCA Before and After School Programs (also known as Outside School Hours Care). This service is run by YMCA Children's Programs – part of YMCA Victoria.
Our Before and After School Programs are designed to complement your child’s school learning through activities and socialising. Your child and family can experience the following benefits from being enrolled in our Before and After School Programs:
- flexibility and support for families
- enhanced emotional intelligence
- improved cognitive development through activities.
We look forward to working with the children, parents and staff of Rosedale Primary School to deliver a high-quality program that your children love as much as we do.

Our Before and After School Programs offer:
- arts and crafts;
- board games and puzzles;

We also provide healthy and delicious snacks, with breakfast being served in the morning, and afternoon tea after school.
