About Us

Welcome to Kea Kids Club!  Our goal is to provide exeptional programme delivery that empowers and enriches families in the community.  We provide a safe, quality, accessible and affordable out of school care service for primary and intermediate school children. 

Company Values

Our out of school care company is focused on service to the community, parents and most of all, children.  We believe that to truly provide life enriching experiences for children, the needs and expectations of parents are of utmost importance.

Out of school care should be a fun experience for your child.  Our goal is for you to pick up happy children on your way home from work.

We love hearing what our parents and kids have to say about our programmes!  We are commited to delivering the best service possible and are open to both positive and critically constructive feedback. Your input can and does make a difference to our programme delivery.

Our Programmes

We run the following OSCAR programmes

  • Before School Care
  • After School Care
  • Holiday Programmes

The emphasis is on offering fun, stimulating and recreational activities for children in a positive, friendly and caring environment.  We care because you care!  We anticipate parents' needs and create an experience which recognises each child's unique qualities.  When your children are happy, you are happy and then so are we!

Behind the Scenes...

Kea Kids Club has had a presence in Manurewa, Auckland for almost ten years.   2008 saw a period of phenomenal growth and a large number of centres were opened across the country.  However as is often the case, bigger was not better! 

The new National Kea Kids Club management team realised that the franchise was moving further and further away from the fundamental principles which had initially attracted them  It became increasingly clear that it was time to take a step back and reassess where Kea Kids Club as a childcare franchise was headed.

To this end in July 2009 a new management team, including Anna Marie Gwilt and Harsha Parbhu took over the National franchise.  Anna Marie and Harsha had been Master Franchisees for a number of years. Both have a sinificant background in education and feel very strongly about the value of educational principles in out of school care systems.

With their combined wealth of experience and their shared vision, the decision was made to cut back and concetrate on the quality of the Kea Kids Club service.

A Brief Overview

Kea Kids Club is engaged in continuous improvement and is investing more time and resources into the infrastructure supporting our services to ensure that the high standards we set for all our centres are met.

The OSCAR approved quality assurance systems implemented in our centres form a foundation for all new centres as we grow and look towards providing more Fun, Safe & Affordable Care across New Zealand, for all Kiwi kids.

You can follow our journey right here on our website, as we will be posting news and updates regularly.

It's about the kids! 

Our primary clients are your children and their experience will determine our level of success.  We want your children to have fun, to grow and to come home with big smiles on their faces.  This is the motivational drive behind the programmes we offer. 

All our programmes are about providing your children with stimulating and fun activities while developing their social skills and assisting them in becoming emotionally mature young adults.

The Kea Kids Club team are passionate and motivated about the quality of our programmes and love working with children!  Kea Kids Club values the trust you as parents place in our OSCAR programmes.

Your child is a unique individual with their own likes, dislikes and preferences. We value and encourage diversity in our children and endeavour to support and maximise each child's potential.

We want to you hear from you...  If you have suggestions on how we can improve, tell us!   If you are happy with our services, tell your friends.
