KATIKIDS AFTER SCHOOL CARE

📣 Important Update: After School Care Programme Closing

It is with deep regret that we share the news that our After School Care programme will be closing, with the final day of service on Friday 27th June 2025.

We know this service has been a trusted part of life for many working families in Katikati, and this decision has not been made lightly. Over the past two years, we have continued to run the programme despite ongoing financial losses, because we know how valuable it has been for our community.

Unfortunately, a recent and unexpected confirmation that we no longer meet the criteria for key funding — due to a drop in enrolment numbers — has made it clear that we can no longer sustain the service.

We understand this is short notice, and we sincerely apologise for the disruption this may cause.

We are aware that an independent provider is currently exploring the possibility of offering a similar service in the future. While nothing has been confirmed, we will share updates as soon as more information becomes available.

We want to thank all the families who have trusted us with their tamariki over the years, and acknowledge the incredible work of our after school care team. It has been our privilege to support your whānau.
