After-School Programs
The hours between the final bell and when parents are able to pick up their children are a critical period of time. Engaging, challenging after-school programs can help solidify what students have learned during the day, and adult supervision ensures they’ll be safe until they go home each day. Campus KidCare is available on our campuses.
Campus KidCare

The program is designed to safely care for your child and to give him/her extra support between the school and home.
