“We’ve been using camp aus for a few weeks now for my 4yo who has started to attend kindy. Shes loved the experience, does before school 3 days a week and is always excited to wake up and go. She was in daycare before and every day was a struggle and scream of not wanting to go. We haven’t had a single day like that since starting OSHC”
