Back to all locations

WELCOME TO KAS POKENO

Our Pokeno programme has been open since 2020.

We operate our programme out of the new Playcentre building. The Playcentre has a full kitchen we use for baking/cooking activities and food preparation.

Pokeno Playcentre has a fenced in playground and large sandpit, we also have access to the Pokeno school's large field during our operating hours where we take children for sports activities.

We run a Holiday programme at our Pokeno site.

PROGRAMME ASSISTANT

I grew my love working for/with kids, once I became an auntie to many nieces and nephews. Seeing kids grow and be the best versions of themselves feels rewarding. I love my cars, 2 dogs, music and anything to do with travelling. Very family orientated & always up for a good laugh.
