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.

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.

Contact us if you want to discuss how we can help you and your child or children.
