WELCOME TO KAS HARRISVILLE
KAS has proudly been part of the Harrisville community since 2009, providing fun, engaging and reliable care for local families.
Our programme is based in the Harrisville School Hall, where children enjoy a welcoming environment with plenty of space to play, create, learn and connect. We also have full use of the kitchen facilities, making cooking and baking activities a regular favourite, along with access to the school's fantastic playgrounds and large field for outdoor games and active play.
Our experienced KAS team brings energy, enthusiasm and genuine care to every session, creating a place where children feel welcome, included and excited to be. Each afternoon is thoughtfully planned with a balance of organised activities, free play and opportunities for children to build friendships, develop confidence and have fun.
During Terms 1 and 4, we are fortunate to have access to the school's heated swimming pool. Children are welcome to take part in supervised swimming sessions once a completed permission form has been received.
Our Harrisville After School Care programme also offers activity drop offs within the Tuakau township. For more information, please contact our Head Office on 09 236 4078.
We currently provide pickups from Tuakau Primary School and Tuakau College. If your child's school is not listed, please get in touch with our Head Office to discuss whether we can accommodate an additional pick-up location.
Our Holiday Programme also operates from our Harrisville site, with every day bringing a fresh mix of exciting activities, creative experiences, themed days, special visitors and memorable adventures.

I love outdoor activities like gardening and long walks. I enjoy spending time with the kids at KAS and watching them develop their own personalities and strengths.

I have lived most of my life in Tuakau, and I have been working with children under 5 years of age as a Home Based Educator for about 12 years before joining the Harrisville KAS team.

I am a fun and bubbly person and I really enjoy getting to know the kids here. In my spare time I like to cook for my family and spend time with my animals.
