From our Director Laurence Foran

At Fun Club @ West Wollongong, your children will never be short of fun and exciting activities to participate in during our Before school care, After school care and throughout our Vacation Care programs. Our team goes above and beyond to ensure we have a fun and exciting program planned with a variety of in-centre activities but also out of centre activities that take children to a variety of exciting locations.
The team at Fun Club @ West Wollongong ensure that each of the children’s interests and needs are met, this may be during play or by creating relationships with educators and their peers. Our experienced educators believe that building on developing skills and knowledge are important and we work in partnership with the children to create engaging and exciting programs which meet the interest and abilities of all children within our centre.
Our team here at Fun Club @ West Wollongong believe that it should be a fun, safe and supportive environment for all children and families that enter our service. We strongly believe that everyone here within the centre should feel they belong; as we value, respect and welcome all families to be active participants within the centre.
