Before and After School Care

Before and After School Care Before and/or After School Care Programmes currently operate from various locations in Hamilton, Lagoon Stadium in Panmure, Jordan Recreation Centre in Onehunga, Mt Albert Recreation and Community Centre, Rosebank Rd School and Parakai School. Please check with your local centre for details on which care options are available.

Each programme offers a variety of activities that can include arts and crafts, sports and games and a homework club. We provide a safe environment for your child to relax in after their day at school while ensuring there are stimulating options for those still with energy. Most programmes provide a healthy afternoon tea at the centre although please confirm this with the programme of your choice.

Every child is unique; our programmes allow for the diversity in age, sex, and background of each child while encompassing the indivdual needs and interests. Should you have any concerns about your child, or if your child has special requirements whether dietary or other, please take the time to discuss this with us. It is important that you notify us of any information we may need to know for your child to have the best experience possible.

Bookings are essential as we need to know who is attending on a daily basis. Please contact the YMCA providing the service for registration. All of our programmes are CYF approved to operating OSCAR standards. For you this means your child participates in a nationally approved programme and, should your family qualify, enables you to receive a Work and Income subsidy.
