Our Lady of Lourdes OSHC, Ingham

Our Lady of Lourdes OSHC is located in the Hinchinbrook Shire, in the township of Ingham. Servicing multiple schools within the district, Ingham outside hours school care services caters to all school-age children from Ingham and surrounding areas.

Offering an extension of the school day, our care facility caters to after school care and vacation care requirements for busy families in the area.

We provide a safe and nurturing environment for each of the children to learn, grow, and socialise within our care. Our care is built on an environment that fosters active learning and development of the whole child. We acknowledge and respect children as unique individuals and begin each session by understanding how they would like to spend their time. In a nutshell, our programs are based on children's interests and needs.

After School Care & Vacation Care

Our centre has developed strong relationships with St Patrick's Parish, Our Lady of Lourdes School and St Mary MacKillop Early Learning Centre.

Communication and relationships with families are extremely important, and we value all parent input.

Between our fantastic staff, high quality of care and engaging environment, your children will flourish within the Ingham OSHC.
