WELCOME TO KAS patumahoe
KAS has proudly been part of the Patumahoe community since 2007, providing fun, engaging and reliable care for local families.
Based in the Patumahoe School Hall, children enjoy a welcoming environment with plenty of space to play, create, learn and connect. Full use of the kitchen facilities makes cooking and baking activities a regular favourite, while the school's junior and senior playgrounds and large field provide plenty of opportunities for active outdoor fun.
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 day is thoughtfully planned with a balance of organised activities, free play and opportunities to build friendships, develop confidence and have fun.
A real highlight of the Patumahoe programme is its convenient location alongside Fulton Swim School. Children booked into swimming lessons are safely escorted to and from their lessons by the KAS team during programme hours. We also offer activity drop offs to selected local activities, making life a little easier for busy families.
We also provide transport to and from Mauku School, supporting families in both the Patumahoe and Mauku communities with reliable before and after school care.
The KAS Holiday Programme also operates from Patumahoe, with every day offering a great mix of creative activities, sports, games, themed days, special visitors and exciting adventures throughout the school holidays.

At KAS, we believe children thrive when they have a balance of routine, choice and fun. Every session follows a familiar daily routine that helps children feel settled, confident and know what to expect, while still providing plenty of opportunities to explore, create, play and connect.
