Wellington Childcare With A Difference

Here at Pride Lands, we have a simple, clear vision:
“To help guide children through to adulthood, to help as many children as possible, and to provide this assistance anywhere it is needed, and to any age.” To realise this vision we offer a range of before and after school care and school holiday programs designed to nurture and provide support to children and their families.

As a parent, once you understand our vision you’ll see why our childcare services are different from other providers, and how those differences are all designed to teach confidence and respect and to help your children grow into great adults.

Ask kids why they love coming to Pride Lands, and while they might mention the great food, or the way we treat them with respect, or the fantastic field trips, the number one response will be how much fun they have with us.

Welcoming & Inclusive Childcare

All children are welcome at Pride Lands:

A big difference at Pride Lands childcare is that we accept all children. First and foremost, all the tamariki who are part of the Pride Lands family are just that – children. Kids who are neurodiverse, anxious, non-binary, non-verbal, have behavioural struggles, or have just had tough upbringings are welcomed, accepted and included in all the services we offer.

Our mentors are highly skilled and experienced at working with and helping all children. It’s a speciality of Pride Lands, and something that almost no-one else in Wellington region offers.

We firmly believe that the children with the biggest challenges need the most help, not turning away. We also know from experience, and feedback from the children that we work with that being accepted for who they are, and included unconditionally in Pride Lands activities is the best way to start helping them.

What We Do:

Before School Care

We make sure your children have a good breakfast, are energised, focussed and mentally and physically ready to start their school day.

The Pride Lands Childcare Difference

Pride Lands is a legacy social development passion project designed to support our young people (neurotypical & neurodivergent) into a successful future.

No matter when or why your children come to us, for before school care, after school care or school holiday programmes, or the age of your children, there are some things we think are important, that form the basis of everything we do.

• No TV or video games
• Cooking and eating healthy, balanced meals
• Offering structured, varied and fun activities – no game or activity repeated in a year
• Teaching behaviour management and conflict resolution techniques
• Encouraging and motivating children to always strive for success.
• An emphasis on teamwork and confidence-building challenges
• Enhancing the passion, direction and decision making of children
• Promoting the development of self-care skills
