Paraparaumu Holiday Programme (based @ Kenakena School)

What can I expect for After School Care?

A fun environment for your kids to unleash some energy before they head home. There’s something for everyone, including arts & crafts, organised games & sports, free play opportunities, controlled time and usage of devices, a variety of short & ongoing projects, quiet space for chilling or reading, and even extra special planned activities like gymnastics, kids box fit and Zumba.

A headstart on their homework - we cap homework time at 20 minutes. After all, they’ve been cooped up in class all day!

Afternoon tea and special 6 pm nibbles (for late pick-ups). We ensure sugar intake is limited and we can cater to all allergies. Our wholesome snacks will make sure your kids’ pukus are full until tea time.

An optional pick-up service if your child attends a programme that is not on the school grounds. Our team transports your child to the local programme site for you.

How do these things work for School Holiday Programmes?

Our holiday programmes are divided into two separate age groups, ensuring all activities are age-appropriate:

Juniors - designed for kids between 5 and 9 years of age
Seniors - for your energetic pre-teens, aged between 10-14

Where is After School Care?

After School Care operates in the classroom attached to the school hall at Paekakariki School. We ask that parents follow the path around the school building and look for our Fun Zone signage.

We operate from when schools finish for the day to 7 pm.

Where is the Holiday Programme?

School Holiday Programme enrolments are open to all local families. For our Paekakariki whānau we are based at Kenakena Primary School in Paraparaumu.

If you have any questions, get in touch with our friendly team here.

We’d be happy to help!

Are OSCAR subsidies available?

We believe all Kiwi families should have access to childcare, whenever they need it. That’s why OSCAR subsidies are available at all our programmes. Simply apply online here.
