Carole Bolland - Kids Inc OSCAR Tauranga

Carole Bolland

Managing Director
I started Kids Inc in February 2005, and as a mother myself, my focus and priority has always been about the kids and families and providing a service that ALL families can have access to and belong.

I have a Bachelor of Social Science and worked as Laboratory Technician in a previous life, but knew I had to change industries as my passion is kids. I was involved in Playcentre Training and was an Executive Member for 16 years. I know first-hand what it’s like juggling work, other commitments and children (I have 5 children and two grandchildren) so I wanted Kids Inc to be a place where parents and children felt safe, supported, engaged and could have fun!

I have so many ‘favourites’ about doing what I do but two stand outs for me are i) watching our little ones over the years grow in confidence and become young adults and ii) seeing parents in study, qualify and move into the workforce providing better lives for their children.

 I’m a strong advocate for parents and everything I do is about providing the best for our families. I work closely with Work and Income New Zealand (WINZ) to try and streamline the childcare subsidy and make the process smoother and easier for parents.

I have a Sport and Exercise Science degree and many years’ experience in the industry and I’ve been at Kids Inc for a few years now.
My favourite part about my job is supporting and encouraging children to try new, challenging things and seeing them achieve these. I have the best job ever – I really do love my job!
Outside of Kids Inc I like playing sport, actually I like all sport and spending time with my family.

I love my job and the variety, given I work alongside the kids as well as doing some administrative duties.
The children at Kids Inc teach me something new every day, whether it’s a new Tik Tok dance or how to play a different card game – everyday is different! 
​Outside of work I enjoy going to the beach, camping and having adventures with friends.
