Cherish Childcare provides before and after school care, on-site at both Coastal Taranaki School and Puketapu.

The before-school programme, which commences at  7:15 am, provides a healthy breakfast and supervision until school is open for the day. Any new entrants or children who require support are walked to their class and handed over to the teacher. A drop off service to Bell Block School is also available.

After school, there is a light afternoon tea and drink for children, time for homework options for children to “chill out” or start an art activity or just burn off some energy in the playground. There are planned activities each day ranging from games, art, craft, and baking. We offer casual, part-time and full-time spaces. Children are collected from surrounding schools by Cherish Childcare staff and brought to the School for a light afternoon tea. The playground, sandpit, and swimming pool are particular favourites for the kids.
