HOLIDAY PROGRAMME & AFTER SCHOOL CARE
Programme Cancellations
Katikids School Holiday Programme reserves the right to change the programme on the day for any reason (usually for weather or safety reasons) without any prior notification to parents, and a refund will not be issued. We will put on an alternative age-appropriate programme for your child in this instance.
The fee schedule may be reviewed from time to time. Where possible at least two weeks notice will be given of any change. The programme reserves the right to amend or change terms, conditions, or policies.

Children must be signed in every day by an authorised parent/caregiver

Pick-up details for the end of each daily programme

If a child is not collected at the allocated session time the following procedure is followed:
Two staff members remain with the child
Calls are first made to parents/caregivers or emergency contact If no contact with the parents/caregivers is made within one hour of the programme closing the child will be supervised until a suitable caregiver is located (i.e. NZ Police)
