Helping Hands Network before and after school programs
Helping Hands Network’s Rise then Shine before school program and Stay and Play after school program are based on research and designed to facilitate play. Their programs provide children with opportunities for experimentation, imagination, and freedom of expression!
Before and after a structured day at school, it’s important for children to have the chance to relax and participate in activities they enjoy. Every child has their own idea of what’s fun, so Helping Hands Network offer a wide range of engaging activities during Before and After School Care (Rise then Shine and Stay and Play programs) to accommodate every child’s desire.
While Helping Hands Network still offer all the usual fun activities and clubs, they also have 7 adventure categories! Each adventure category gives children the opportunity to develop life skills and explore their interests through specially designed experiences and activities.

What are the benefits of Helping Hands Network’s program for kids?
"Play is a biological imperative for healthy child development."
Play fosters brain growth, the development of motor skills, and executive functions. Play plays a pivotal role in emotional regulation, problem-solving, and navigating complex social interactions. Through play, children acquire essential skills that contribute to identity, confidence, resilience, and overall well-being.
Our research-led Adventure Program
The Adventure Program, which is offered through Helping Hands Network, is the first purpose-designed play-based program in the Outside School Hours Care sector. It allows the team at Helping Hands Network to play a key role in furthering child development, supporting kids to become healthy, confident and resilient individuals.
