WHat is Kid’s Rule Afterschool?

At Kids Rule After-School our main objective is to create a fun yet stimulating environment where children can continue to develop their social, physical, intellectual and emotional skills. We endeavour to create a safe and caring ‘home away from home’ environment where children can relax and feel comfortable after their day at school.
We cater for all age groups, classes and needs. The afternoon routine revolves around the children and ensuring that all of their needs are met, whether these are big or small.
Each after-school space consists of a fun filled activity area and a dining/homework area. Our homework and dining area is simply laid out so as to provide a calm and relaxing environment with no unnecessary distractions.
This allows the children to enjoy a nutritious meal or snack, chat with their friends and carers about their day, and complete homework assignments.
