The field of Out of School Care and Recreation provides forms of childcare to children whose school days do not coincide with the working hours of their parents or guardians: before/after school and/or during school holidays. Often based in or near schools, it provides supervision and recreational/educational facilities. In New Zealand these programs are commonly known as "OSCAR" . Most programmes have a community base; some operate as private profit-making ventures. Increasingly Out of School Hours Care programs are seen as important vehicles for promoting healthy child development by engaging children in physical and creative activities and by linking children with other community organisations and clubs. However the important role of these programs is the development of children's life skills,the provision of play opportunities and supporting children to engage within their community. == OSCAR Care Definition == OSCAR Care stands for Out of School Care and Recreation. It is often called After School Care. This definition is most commonly used in New Zealand for the sector of the childcare industry that caters for children aged 5 to 13 years of age. Predominately this type of childcare is delivered during before school hours, after school hours or during school holiday breaks. OSCAR services are not delivered by government departments, but rather individuals (sole traders), companies, non-profit groups (such as churches) and school-owned operations. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Out of School Care and Recreation」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
