We were established in 1998 out of an over-whelming need for an After School Care facility in the wider community.

We are guided by the principles of being safe, kind and caring. We invite every family for an informal chat before enrollment in order to understand the families’ needs and expectations and to make sure we can provide the best possible care for your child. Our very dedicated staff are chosen for their ability to build on these principles and interact with the children to ensure their well-being.

SMASH operates across two convenient Karori locations. We provide after-school care at both St Mary’s Church, 170 Karori Road, and St Teresa’s School, with before-school care available at St Teresa’s. Our popular holiday programme is based at 170 Karori Road, with plenty of space, activities and indoor soft play to keep children entertained in all weather.
