Bluepoint Home Based After School Child Care - Auckland
Taking an educational approach to in-home after school care & learning
Whether you're a couple or a solo parent, statistics suggest you are among the majority of New Zealanders who through choice or necessity combine parenting with fulltime work.
We'd like to think visiting our Bluepoint After School website shows you are concerned at the inability of current care options to effectively meet the needs of after school learning and care.
Why Bluepoint After School Care?
You're probably only too familiar with this scenario: feeling under pressure to collect your children from school; and while you collect them, feeling concerned about what may be going on at work between the hours of 3pm and 6pm; the worry that leaving a child at school until 5.30pm or 6pm may not be an ideal solution; cramming homework demands in and around dinner preparation; unacceptably late bedtimes as a result; reduced opportunities for worthwhile time with your child; frustration that quality family time can be hard to find at the end of a long day.
As former principals of Auckland schools, we know that from their early primary days children are being set more homework. We also know that the lack of individual attention in an after school group or institutionalised environment is not good for getting homework done effectively and is not conducive to learning. Some children can find the large group environment tiring at the end of the school day. On the other hand, finding a caregiver or nanny with the skills or the interest in assisting with homework can be difficult.
