At Manaaki Whaanau Kids, our Before School Care provides a calm, nurturing start to your child’s day. From opening until 6:30am, children can enjoy a variety of quiet activities while breakfast is served.
Our morning routine includes:
-
Healthy breakfast options to fuel the day
-
Games and child-led activities to gently ease into the morning
-
Warm Milo on chilly winter mornings
-
School drop-off starting from 8:30 am, adjusted to your school’s schedule
Children are supported and guided as they get ready for school, ensuring a smooth, stress-free start to their day.
