Children and Families

Council resolved at its meeting of 7 April 2020 to formally discontinue delivery of the Mosman Before and After School Service (including Vacation Care). Council will provide assistance to families enrolled in its service during Term 1, 2020 to transition to the school-based service at Mosman Public School from Term 2. This includes covering enrolment fees for these families and finalising any matters outstanding from care provided in Term 1.

Enquiries regarding the school-based Shadforth OSHC service, including enrolments for that service, can be made by contacting Nicole Cooper at ncooper@childrenservices.onmicrosoft.com or on (02) 9677 7736. An online link to enrolments is available at shadforthcottage.com.au

Mosman Council operates a playgroup and facilitates a number of long day care places at two child care centres in the Mosman area. Contact 9978 4006 for further information.

For other government, private and community child related services and schools in the local area visit the Children’s Services Directory or MyChild.gov.au.
