Settle. Relax. Connect.

A cosy space where primary and intermediate age Tamariki can:

• be completely themselves

• unwind after the school day

• connect with like-minded peers

• play games / draw / create

• get support with homework

The Hive is unique environment where children can connect, relax and engage in activities that leave them feeling calm, centred and ready for the transition to home.

‍This isn't simply supervised after-school care. It is a thoughtfully designed, neuroinclusive environment facilitated by an experienced team and informed by decades of specialist expertise in neurodiversity, learning, executive functioning, and child development.
