About GrowingKids Out Of School Care
We are a small locally owned and operated OSCAR programme based at Inglewood Primary School. Our passion is to allow children to learn and grow in a safe and secure setting while having fun and making friends.
The before school programme runs from 7am-8.30am. It's a chance to prepare for the day in a calm setting with supportive staff.
The after school programme runs from 3pm-5.30pm. The children will enjoy a light afternoon snack, take part in activities (arts&crafts/sports/baking/playground) and have free play. Parents are welcome to pick up their children throughout the afternoon until 5.30pm.
We offer pickups from Norfolk, Kaimata and Waitoriki for the after school programme but please contact us first to check availability. We do not offer a drop-off service in the mornings.
