Our After School Care Philosophy

We at Magic believe in letting kids be kids at our after school care programmes. They have just been learning all day and we believe they need time to relax (if they would like) with refreshments, partake in more active play oustside with friends, or partake in some indoor activities. We let children more often do what they would like to be doing - letting them have time to use their imagination. We do ask them to do one thing though - Homework! 

We believe your child/ren needs to feel welcome each day. That is why we strive to create an environment that is fun & friendly and most importantly a place where your child feels appreciated and safe. We believe we have the right balance at after school care between; homework time, special arts and craft activities, and general play with their friends.

Lastly, we believe after school care is a great environment for your child to build on their socialising skills. Older children will be encouraged to help the younger children, building responsibility and self esteem in the process, while the younger children will grow from having positive role models to support them and build confidence. Added to this, the benefits of our arts/ sports/ and challenge programme will ensure your child/ren builds skills for life.
