Our story
About AfterBell Adventures
We started with a simple belief: every child deserves a safe, engaging place to belong between school and home.
The AfterBell story
AfterBell Adventures was founded with a clear purpose: to create an out-of-school care programme that Auckland families could genuinely rely on — one that prioritises child wellbeing, brings energy and creativity to every afternoon, and operates to the highest possible safety standards.
We recognised that many Auckland working families were struggling to find quality, consistent before-school and after-school care that truly put children first. AfterBell Adventures was built to change that.
Operating under the OSCAR (Out of School Care and Recreation) model, we are building a programme that Auckland schools and families can be proud to be part of.
“Where the fun begins after the bell.”
— The AfterBell Adventures tagline
Our Mission
To give children a safe place to belong, explore and grow beyond the school day.
Our Vision
To be Auckland's most trusted out-of-school care provider — known for our warmth, professionalism and the genuine impact we have on children and families.
Our values
Safety first
Every decision starts with the safety and wellbeing of the children in our care. This is non-negotiable.
Kindness always
We treat every child, family and colleague with genuine kindness and respect — always.
Every child belongs
AfterBell Adventures is an inclusive environment where all children — regardless of background or ability — are welcomed and valued.
Learning through adventure
We believe children learn best through doing, playing and exploring. Every activity is designed to inspire curiosity and growth.
Trusted partnerships
We build honest, transparent relationships with schools and families based on reliability, communication and shared commitment.
Commitment to child wellbeing
The physical, emotional and social wellbeing of every child in our care is our central responsibility. We maintain safe environments, supportive interactions and responsive supervision at all times. Our team is trained to recognise and appropriately respond to any concerns about a child's welfare.
Commitment to inclusion
AfterBell Adventures is committed to being an inclusive programme where every child feels welcome, respected and supported. We actively work to accommodate children of different backgrounds, abilities and needs, and we celebrate the diversity that makes our Auckland community special.
