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.

Hello, my name is Johanna, and I currently study at Newlands College. In my spare time, I enjoy doing arts and crafts, and spending time with the people I love. Working at Kapai Kidz has been a great opportunity, with the kind members which create a safe environment for everyone. In the past, my younger sister has gone to Bellevue School, and it's nice to be able to help out and give back to the community. I feel truly included and it's a pleasure to be able to see how welcoming and kind everyone is, and I'm excited for the future working here at Kapai Kidz!
