After School Care Program

The School Age Care (SAC) program operates within the buildings of Lyneham Primary School from 3pm to 6pm Monday to Friday during school terms. As managers of the Program, the YWCA of Canberra aims to deliver high quality care to all children attending. The YWCA works closely with families, the school and community and welcome all suggestions and feedback.

Staff are been selected to ensure that the children attending our programs have the best
quality care, in a safe and friendly environment. Current staff ratios as determined by statutory
regulations are one staff member to every eleven children or part there of, with a minimum of
two staff members present at all times. Programs may host work experience placements and
volunteers. These staff are fully supported and supervised while at the program.
