Kids Domain's Stokes Valley centre is an after-school care service held in the Tui Glen School hall at 126 Stokes Valley Road, Stokes Valley, in Lower Hutt. The company has run out-of-school care since 2002 and holds OSCAR Approved Level 3 accreditation. It has four centres, in Stokes Valley, Epuni, Petone and Lower Hutt, and it describes itself as a home away from home for about 110 children. The company's website lists after-school care at Stokes Valley from 2.45pm to 6pm, and the service mixes free play with structured activities, so each child can choose whether to join in.
The supervisors are police vetted and trained in first aid, anti-bullying, child health, child protection and behaviour management. The company says it has experience including neurodivergent children, and that the Ministry of Health and ICAFS use its services. Families mostly come from Lower Hutt, but some children travel from as far as Napier and Christchurch for the school holiday programmes. Absences and casual bookings are handled by texting or leaving a voicemail for the manager. The Lower Hutt centre near the city library also runs before-school care from 7.30am.
