Objectives

Since 1985, CASP have supported local parents who wished to work or study by providing good quality and affordable out-of-school childcare for nursery and primary school aged children.

In 2018 we broadened our strategic objectives to enable us, “to provide appropriate training and learning opportunities to improve the employability, well-being and personal development of young people and adults.”

Essentially, CASP's core objective is to enable parents to access the job market by providing their children with a safe environment while they are at work simultaneously striving to advance the education of the children in its care by placing an emphasis on group play and progressive learning.
