Overview

A very large number of primary school children attend aftercare centres on a daily basis.

Many children are faced with the challenge of two working parents. Despite the best efforts from the parents, these children may experience a lack of daily mental and emotional support at home as a result. The challenge also exists regarding coordinated support networks to address the problem.

Aftercare centre staff can make a life-long impact on the children in their care. Participants in this course will develop various Bible-based skills relating to working with children in an aftercare centre setting.

Starting 30 January 2025, the course will run every Thursday from 09:00 - 12:00 over 8 weeks.

Key outcomes of the 8-week training (one 3-hour session per week)

  • Leadership skills
  • Core values
  • Emotional intelligence
  • Engagement techniques by using play, storytelling and active listening to build meaningful relationships with children,
