An after-school and holiday programme based on the grounds of Houghton Valley School at 110 Houghton Bay Road in Houghton Bay, Wellington, Kelly Club Houghton Valley has been running since 2017. The programme is part of Kelly Club, which started in New Zealand in 2009. It serves pupils of Houghton Valley School and families in Lyall Bay, Southgate, Melrose, Kilbirnie, Island Bay, Newtown and the wider Wellington area. Activities include sports and games, cooking and baking, arts and crafts, and science and discovery, with time for homework and free play. The programme runs during term time and in the school holidays, with flexible bookings and payment plans.
Families who qualify for an OSCAR subsidy can use it towards their booking fees. The programmes meet the Ministry of Social Development's standards for OSCAR approval. Staff are trained in behaviour management and first aid and are police vetted, with checks repeated every three years. Because the club is on school grounds, the company says children are in a familiar place, and it shares its revenue with the school.
