Activities
We provide a variety of enriching activities
Quiet Time
Some kids are not morning people and we completely understand that, we offer a quiet and relaxing space for kids who need a little more time to wake up.
Self-directed Play
There is a large variety of different toys, puzzles and games for children to explore during their 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. Specifically, we do lots of activities teaching kids about the diversity of the world and how to be respectful to others.
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.
Educational Focus
We understand the importance of balancing fun and educational content so we tailor our sessions to either include time for homework or include educational content.

Each programme is qualified to receive an OSCAR Subsidy. Qualifying families can apply through Work and Income New Zealand. To find out more on the OSCAR Subsidy and to check if you might qualify, visit our OSCAR Subsidy page.
Our teams are trained in behaviour guidance training to ensure they are well equipped to help a child in this situation. We have Supporting Positive Behaviour Plans in place, which will involve the child, parent/caregiver, and sKids Programme Manager. This requires a team effort by everyone involved to ensure the child is prepared for the development and improvement in behaviour.
If your child requires medication or has allergies our teams should be aware of, please ensure you add all the necessary details on the safety form when you make a booking. Any medication you give permission for our teams to administer or your child to self-administer will be logged and tracked for you.
