Before and After School Programmes
At Sherpa Kids, we are passionate about providing world-class experiences and programmes that add depth and richness to children’s learning beyond the classroom and school curriculum. We have created a total of seven adventure categories to guide children and their activity coordinators in various child-led activities. To reflect our new programme, we have renamed Before and After School Care to our Adventure Programme, which consists of our morning programme, Rise then Shine and afternoon programme, Stay And Play.
