Our Programmes
Care that fits your schedule
Three flexible programmes designed around working parents. Your child walks straight from their classroom — no transport, no fuss.
Before School Care
7:00am – 8:15am
Start the day right with a warm breakfast and supervised play before school begins. Children are walked safely to their classrooms when the bell rings.
After School Care
3:00pm – 6:00pm
A warm, fun space for children to unwind after school. Our staff personally collect under-7s and new children from their classrooms. Older kids walk straight over. They enjoy afternoon snacks, playground time, board games, toys, and movies.
Half sessions from $12/day
Holiday Programme
7:30am – 6:00pm
Action-packed school holiday fun with themed days, exciting trips, and creative activities. Open to children from any school in the wider West Auckland area. Every day is different — from movie trips and bowling to cooking days and arts & crafts.
