Welcome to YMCA Merrimac Outside School Hours Care
YMCA Merrimac OSHC is situated at Merrimac State School. Our service office and sign-in/out areas are located at the Multi-Purpose Centre (MPC). You’ll find it on the corner of the school closest to the tennis court, at the intersection of Boowaggan Road and Gooding Drive.
The Y Merrimac OSHC provides Before, After, and Vacation Care for Merrimac State School families and the wider Gold Coast community. Our program offers diverse indoor and outdoor activities across playgrounds, sandpits, a tennis court, multi-purpose spaces, our rec room, and even the unique “Old School Building.”
Our dedicated team of experienced Educators prioritizes care and holds, or is completing, Early Childhood qualifications, with many holding Diplomas or working towards Education Degrees. Our Coordinator boasts 20 years at the service, bringing extensive childcare expertise. All staff hold current Blue Cards, First Aid, and CPR certifications.
We’re excited to play a positive role in your child’s growth and development!
