Kelly Club St Joseph's Papanui provides before- and after-school care for children at St Joseph's School in Papanui, Christchurch. The programme is for children in Years 0 to 8 and covers Papanui, Bryndwr, Northcote, Strowan, Bishopdale and St Albans. The programme is at 4 Vagues Road. The activities include baking and cooking, art and craft, sports and games, science and discovery, and structured free play with time to relax and do homework. The website says there is no set routine for each day, with hundreds of craft, cooking and game activities. Kelly Club has been running in New Zealand since 2009, and it describes itself as a home away from home.
Families can book same-day and cancel without penalty, under flexible payment plans. The programme meets Ministry of Social Development standards for OSCAR programmes, so families who qualify can use an OSCAR subsidy towards the fees. Staff who work with children are police vetted, with checks repeated every three years, and the team is trained in behaviour management, health and safety, first aid, and art and craft.
