At Welcome to the zone, our mission is to bring you the best care for your children after school and during the school holidays. Hi my name is Sarah Jane Pinkney. I am a qualified primary teacher. I gained my Bachelor of Teaching from Waikato University. I have taught in many areas of a primary school. I have, however, specialised in children with special needs and learning or behavioural difficulties. I have been the director of an OSCAR After School Programme and Holiday Programme for the past three years . Prior to this I was a supervisor for a Holiday Programme where my passion for this type of work first began. We hope you enjoy your visit and return to Welcometothezone.com often!
