WELCOME TO KAS PUKEKOHE
Our Pukekohe programme was KAS’s first programme which opened in 1998.
We operate our programme out of Pukekohe Hill school hall and have full use of the kitchen facilities for food preparation and baking/cooking activities. Pukekohe Hill school has great playgrounds a large field and a large turf area that we also have access to during our operating hours.
We offer drop offs and picks ups to the following schools - Puni, KingsGate, St Joseph’s, Buckland, Valley School and Pukekohe Intermediate. If your school is not on the list of pick-up locations, please contact our office to see if we are able to pick up from your child’s school.
Our Pukekohe programme offers activity drop offs for local activities/sports clubs in Pukekohe only.
We run a Holiday programme at our Pukekohe site.

MEET THE TEAM
lucy campbell
MANAGER
I like to bring a blend of fun, creativity, and genuine care to everything I do. I thrive on forming real connections with kids, and fostering an environment where they feel seen, supported, and inspired. As someone who’s always learning, I stay curious and open, bringing fresh ideas and approaches to my work. My nature ensures that every child I work with feels valued, while my creativity helps make our time together memorable and meaningful.

SUPERVISOR
I have a great passion for childcare, helping children to grow, learn who they are and be themselves in a team of great adults and peers.
I'm married with two children, and we love spending time together as a family. I'm a coffee lover, and I'm always up for a good chat in English or Afrikaans. I'm looking forward to meeting you and working together, providing a safe space for all tamariki.
