At sKids, we believe childhood should be full of laughter, learning, and adventure! Since 1996, we've been creating awesome out-of-school experiences for Ta-mariki across New Zealand. Today, we welcome more than 3,800 kids every day at over 170 school sites – and we're still growing! When you work with us, you get to unleash your inner child. Think: messy art, science experiments, sports showdowns, cooking classes, and plenty of silly games. No two days are the same – and that's how we like it!
