Children up to 12 years of age are professionally cared for by registered educators in their approved homes. In-Home Care is a form of child care where children can be cared for in the familiar environment at their own home by an approved educator. Cobar Outside of School Hours (COOSH) Service and Vacation Care is a program to provide after school hours care for children from both local schools in Cobar.
