KCC History
Kids Crafty Clubs was first established in 1988 as an OSCAR Program in the garage of my family home in Pakuranga catering for Afterschool & School Holiday programmes for 5 -10-year-old, until the family home was too small. We operated in various venues / schools – Anchorage Park Kindergarten / Pakuranga Community Hall /Wakaranga Primary School / Sunnyhill Primary School / Pakuranga Heights Primary / Pakuranga Hall / Buffalo Hall Howick until finally settling in our purpose building at 123 Vincent Street, Howick in 2017.
In 1995 Kids Crafty Clubs open their first Childcare Centre in Pakuranga Heights on the school grounds, built by my father we gained a license from the Ministry of Education for 40 children to attend. We operated for many happy years until we closed the centre in 2010.
In 2000 my husband and I decided to develop in Howick and turned our family home (now Kowhai House) into Kids Crafty Clubs Learning Centre. Our journey continued expanding to develop Tui House and 2016 Phoenix House was built.
My passion has always been the love and support for helping children through their journeys to develop into independent young adults for our future and offering families peace of mind knowing that your child is in safe and in capable hands.
I wish you all happiness in your family’s journey and if you do join our KCC family

Testimonials
My son has gone to KCC for over a year and he absolutely loves it, the teachers are so caring and he loves going, he even wants to go on a Saturday. The administration staff are also super understanding especially helpful when dealing with changes in a relaxed and approachable manner. Could not recommend this business more.

Our little boy has been attending this daycare for two years now, and we honestly couldn’t be happier. From day one, he’s been surrounded by such a warm, caring, and nurturing environment where the teachers truly adore the children and love what they do. He absolutely thrives here — always coming home with a big smile, new stories, and new things he’s learned. The outdoor play area is just perfect for him to run, explore, and play with his friends — it’s always clean and well looked after. We even celebrated his birthday here, and it was such a fun, stress-free day. We’re so grateful to have found a daycare where our boy feels safe, happy, and loved every single day.

We joined KCC this year after it was highly recommended by a friend, and we’ve had a wonderful experience so far. The teachers are caring, supportive, and communicate very well with parents. My son is currently going through a transition stage, and the teachers have given him extra care and attention to help him settle in comfortably. I would definitely give KCC 5 stars!
