Learning through play for kids and their 'big person'
The funnest way to learn beach safety is through Beach Kidz, a programme created for preschoolers aged 2, 3 and 4 years old and their caregivers.
Filled with fun land-based and water-based activities that promote fundamental skills, water safety and confidence, social skills and more, it’s the highlight of our kids’ weeks and a key step to safer beach trips.

Update for our 2023/2024 Summer Season
Ange here from Beach Kidz... Just a quick update from me to you.
Planning for this coming summer is well underway as we look to rebuild our class numbers at both our Bay of Plenty beach venues (Papamoa and Tay St).
Last summer pretty much proved to be one of the most, if not the most challenging to date. And boy we’ve had some challenges over the years!
Who would have thought our summer was going to turn into our winter and bring so many logistical challengers for us!
After a recent major surgery in June (and on the road to a near full recovery come November – fingers & toes crossed!) I have made the decision to focus on our Bay of Plenty Programme this coming summer and work on reopening our Auckland classes in the summer of 2025.
For those of you that are not aware, I share my time between both our Auckland and Bay of Plenty beach venues teaching Beach Kidz as our Head Instructor so as a small business owner and to ensure I don’t bite off more than I can chew, I have made the decision to stay local to my hometown this summer and look forward to heading back up to Auckland in February 2025.
I am sorry to disappoint our Auckland families as I know you are all looking forward to joining us again after a few years of covid and environmental interruptions.
Please be reassured we will be back in the near future!
Ange :)
Families’ favourite summer activity
Beach Kidz isn’t just loved by the kids. Our caregivers love joining in too!
Our classes are a 1-to-1 ratio of caregiver to child, helping the children feel safe, confident and ready to have fun, while also giving the caregivers an opportunity to learn safe practices while in and around water.
Helping our local families learn how to stay safe on the beaches, while having fun together is what Beach Kidz is all about.
