TOA is an OSCAR approved programme (OSCAR - Out of School Care and Recreation)
The OSCAR Standards provide reassurance to parents and caregivers that a programme is properly run and takes place in a safe environment for children. In addition, parents and caregivers may qualify for an OSCAR Subsidy which is paid directly to the programme through Work and Income.
​
What is an OSCAR Subsidy?
Out of School Care and Recreation (OSCAR) Subsidy is a payment which helps families with the costs of before-school and after-school programmes for up to 20 hours a week, and school holiday programmes for up to 50 hours a week.
