Lapstone Out Of School Hours Care
Before & After School Care and Vacation Care on the grounds of Lapstone Public School
Lapstone Out Of School Hours care, known as LOOSH, is nestled amongst the gum trees in the Lower Blue Mountains, on the grounds of Lapstone Public School. We offer before and after school care, as well as vacation care, for students from Kindergarten to Year 6. The service is open to students attending surrounding schools, as well as those at Lapstone Public School.
LOOSH provides a safe environment for children and we encourage development through play. To provide you with peace of mind, our service is accredited by ACEQA.
A community owned and run, not for profit service. We pride ourselves on working in partnership with families in the management of the centre.
