Honey Harbour
New to the Honey Harbour community, we have opened a before and after-school program within the Honey Harbour Public School. This program is geared toward children aged 4-12 and will also offer full-day PD day and school break care. At Friends Forever within all our programs we strive to follow our pedagogy of How Does Learning Happen ensuring all children are seen as individuals, with a rich and nurturing, inclusive environment that captivates the unique potential of all the children in our care. This program runs from 7-9 am and 2:45-6 pm Monday to Friday.

Our Philosophy
Our school age program offers a structured, child-led environment that works within the pedagogy that Friends Forever follows of How Does Learning Happen. This Pedagogy looks at all children as competent, capable and rich in potential. We feel this allows for the children to become active members of the classroom community, ensuring they feel a sense of well-being and engagement in a positive and knowledge-fueled environment.
Children will be dropped off at school before classes begin and will enjoy participating in engaging and thought-provoking activities prior to attending class. After school, children will be picked up from the designated area and enjoy an afternoon with their peers, including a snack and fun activities. Educators support school-age children as they self-serve food, and weather permitting, they go outside twice daily.

Our School-Age Program follows a similar structure to our Preschool Program – continuing to maintain its flexibility to ensure it is child-lead. During the school year, school-age children are dropped off at our centre, bussed to school, bussed back to the centre after school, and stay at the centre until they are picked up. School-age children are encouraged to self-serve food with the support of educators and, weather permitting, they are taken outside twice a day. Field trips are planned for full-day care, some of which include an extra cost to parents.
