Before and After School Care
Kids love sKids because we focus on fun. With fresh snacks provided to fuel lots of activities, you can be sure they’re having a great time in a safe and secure place.
Our Adventure Programme features seven fun-filled categories packed with activities. Backed by research into child development, and created in partnership with experts, the Adventure Programme provides children with the opportunity to learn essential life skills and have great fun exploring their interests.

The care, the varied activities and the fact that I can carry on working with complete confidence that my child is well looked after.parent, sKids St Theresa’s Karori
My daughter loved coming to your holiday programme! The facilitators were so welcoming and approachable. They know all the children well and provide a fun and safe environment. She quickly made friends and really enjoyed herself. She will be back next holidays for sure! Parent, sKids Kapiti
My Daughter always came home happy from skids and would tell me about all the fun stuff she got up to while she was there. She always had a positive experience with skids so for that I’m very grateful.Parent, sKids Hamilton East
