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.

Lydia Tua
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.

Being a teacher's assistant back in SA, I was very happy to still be working with kids when I got the opportunity to join the KAS team. When not spending time with family and friends or visiting the gem sites NZ has to offer, I enjoy DIY projects - upholstery and crafts.
