We’ve been caring for children in our community for over 21 years
With a passion for family, community, and positive impact, running Kapai Kidz is my true calling. Since 2002, when my children attended Bellevue School, I've been dedicated to providing exceptional out-of-school care for local children. With over 25 years of management experience in travel and tourism, I ensure seamless operations and attention to detail. Drawing from my Cook Islands Māori heritage, our engaging programmes celebrate diversity through sports, dance, and music. Committed to conservation, I inspire environmental consciousness in young minds. Join us in Wellington, where we create a nurturing environment for children to thrive, grow, and create lasting memories. At Kapai Kidz, we shape lives with love, guidance, and community, making a difference every day.
