(Includes homework time and fun activities.)
The right start to a child’s day is essential for great learning and Sherpa Kids are able to care for children at their Sherpa Kids centre before school begins for the day. Whether you are an early starter or need to travel a distance to work we would be happy to welcome your child into our care at either the start or end of the day.
You can be rest assured that they are safe, secure and having a fabulous time, and don’t stress about being late for pickups from school again!!

Playducation
Education Through Play
As part of the Sherpa Kids team you will deliver a ‘fresh and vibrant’ approach to childcare based around the concept of Playducation™, which provides an immersive and integrated learning environment.
What can your child expect?
Our team deliver a ‘fresh and vibrant’ approach to Before and Aftercare. To help parents like you our service hours are tailored to the needs of the school, the parents and the local community.
Weekly themes as well as a variety of activities are incorporated into the daily programme for aftercare. During holiday care each day has a new theme! The daily programme is an indication, only, of the types of activities the children will be involved with at any given time. However, depending on the children’s enthusiasm and interest, it may be varied at the discretion of the staff. We are all about building relationships with children so as to provide as much fun and stimulation as possible!
Each week we offer Playducation, these themed daily activities include a mixture of:
Family & Community Involvement
If your family or child has a special day or significant event you would like us to celebrate or share, please discuss this with staff. Community and school involvement is also encouraged at our service as we feel the information and experiences this can provide, can add to a child’s development and learning experience.
