How much fun do you have at work? That’s the motto of SKIDS, and the question franchisors Dawn Engelbrecht and Bev Parsons urge potential franchisees to ask themselves.

SKIDS is New Zealand's number one provider of before and after school care and holiday care for school-aged children. SKIDS stands for Safe Kids in Daily Supervision and the system provides a structured well balanced programme in a safe and secure environment, delivered by professional staff.

SKIDS are based in participating schools so that children are generally in familiar surroundings. The result is a business that generates huge loyalty from children and parents alike.

"Childcare is a growing industry,” says Dawn. “Several franchisees now own more than one site and there is continuing demand for SKIDS programmes throughout the country.

All SKIDS franchisees and staff undergo a recruitment and training process that involves:

• recruitment interview
• reference checks
• Justice Department checks
• first aid training
• occupational safety and health
• behaviour management
• Go Kids!
• SKIDS systems
• performance reviews

• have an eagerness to learn 
• love working with school aged children
• have a willingness to work as an owner / manager of their business
• have solid self-discipline and family support.
• have the ability to take direction when necessary
• have a willingness to invest your own time, and money into your business
• not be afraid to ask for help
