Island Bay After School Care

Nestled in the heart of Wellington's vibrant Island Bay, Island Bay After School Care has been a cherished part of our community for many years. We are more than just a childcare and education center; we are a home away from home, a safe haven where young minds can grow, learn, and flourish under the loving care of dedicated teachers. Our story began with a simple mission: to provide high-quality before and after school care for the children of St Francis De Sales School, as well as the Island Bay Presbyterian Church community. Over time, we've expanded our horizons to include holiday programmes that keep your little ones engaged during their break times. Our approach is holistic and child-centered. We believe in nurturing the whole child - mind, body, and spirit. Each day is filled with a rich tapestry of activities designed to stimulate curiosity, foster creativity, and promote physical development. From cooking classes where toddlers learn to mix their own playdough, to sports sessions that teach teamwork and resilience, we ensure every moment is an opportunity for discovery and learning. In our arts and crafts studio, little hands create beautiful masterpieces, while free time allows children to unwind, make friends, and explore their interests at their own pace. Our teachers, who are as passionate about childcare as they are about education, guide these experiences with patience, creativity, and a deep respect for each child's unique potential. We are more than just a service; we are an extension of your family. We understand the trust you place in us when you leave your precious ones in our care, and we take that responsibility seriously. Our doors are always open to parents, who are welcome to pop in anytime for a chat or a quick peek at their child's day. Island Bay After School Care is more than just a name; it's a promise of quality, care, and fun. We invite you to visit us, meet our team, and experience the warmth and joy that fills our center every day. Join us in creating memories, building friendships, and nurturing the next generation of creative thinkers and compassionate individuals right here in Wellington's beautiful Island Bay.
