What does a typical After School Care Session look like?
Roll call and Delicious Afternoon Tea
After roll call, we offer the kids a delicious afternoon tea which changes each day. We offer yummy sandwiches, fruit and veggies, and sometimes sweet treats! Some weeks we do food-related activities together which helps keep things interesting.
Homework Centre and Learning Areas
We encourage students to do homework and supervise them through this. While After School Care is not a substitute for one-on-one parent and child learning, we can help the kids with their work. For those who do not have homework or require a computer, we encourage them to read, be creative or enjoy some downtime while others do homework.
Outdoor Activities and Engaging Play
After homework and downtime, we move onto the activity of the week. Each week has a theme and includes a variety of After School Activities such as crafts and games. After the craft of the week has been done, there is plenty of time for outdoor play and sports, helping kids release energy and build friendships.
We provide a variety of enriching activities
Quiet Time
Some kids like to wind down in the afternoon and we completely understand that. We offer a quiet and relaxing space for kids who need a little space after a long school day.
Self-directed Play
There is a large variety of different toys, puzzles and games for children to explore during their After School Care session.
Inclusive and Diverse Space
Our schools have a diverse group of kids and we do our best to create a space where everyone is welcome and celebrated. We include activities that promote respect, inclusion, and understanding of different cultures.
Outdoor & Physical Activity
We encourage children to play outside or be active indoors as much as possible. We love to play games together to get the energy out of our systems through fun After School Activities.
Educational Focus
We understand the importance of balancing fun and educational content, so our After School Programs include time for homework or structured learning when needed.

Our programme teams will send someone out to pick up new children from their classrooms until they are confident to do it on their own. We recommend you call/text us to let us know your child is new and what their school and room number is before their first day.
Each programme is qualified to receive an OSCAR Subsidy. Families enrolled in our After School Care Auckland services can apply through Work and Income New Zealand. To find out more, visit our OSCAR Subsidy page.
Our teams are trained in behaviour guidance training to ensure they are well equipped to support children during After School Care sessions. We use Supporting Positive Behaviour Plans involving parents and programme managers.
If your child requires medication or has allergies, please ensure all details are added to the safety form. Any approved medication will be logged and tracked by our team during sessions.
Short sessions will be automatically charged at the longer session if the time exceeds 5 minutes. We will never leave a child unattended. Late pickups incur a $13 fee every 15 minutes, and further action will be taken if required.
During the school term, we have different requirements depending on the school. Some sites may offer pickups or drop-offs for nearby schools. Please contact us to learn more about available options.
