At Catholic Early EdCare, we share every family’s aspiration to see their children thrive, grow, and succeed. Guided by contemporary early education research and best practice, we create engaging learning environments where children feel safe, connected, supported, and inspired to discover the world around them.

Our Service: St Martin’s OSHC is located within the welcoming inner-city suburb of Carina and provides care for primary school children aged 4 to 13 years. Licensed for up to 225 children, the service is supported by a passionate and dedicated team of 18 educators who are currently studying across a variety of fields and career pathways. The service proudly embraces a genuine “home-away-from-home” environment, where strong relationships, fun experiences, and meaningful connections are at the heart of everyday practice. Educators are passionate about extending children’s interests through a blend of planned experiences and spontaneous learning opportunities that encourage creativity, engagement, and growth.
