What is KidCare?
KidCare is an enrichment program, created by your Polk County School System and local child-care providers. The program is dedicated to providing a safe, accessible, affordable, developmentally sound child care program for elementary school children. It was developed because parents requested an after school child care activity club.

Where is KidCare located?
KidCare is an on-campus, school based program located at your child's school.

What will the children do at KidCare?
Arts & crafts, music & drama, discovery, special interest, table games, cup cooking experiences, environmental studies, educational movies, tutoring, sports, and much more.

How do we benefit from the program?
Campus KidCare, is designed to care for your child safely, and to give him or her that "little extra," educationally, socially, culturally, emotionally and academically. In short, all the things you would provide if you didn't need to work or go to school yourself. And that's a tall order.

Here, in a nutshell, is what Campus KidCare offers you and your child:

Safety - Staff, volunteers and specialists work within a staff/child ratio of 1:17, and provide your child with a safe, familiar environment.

Convenience - Your child stays at school, enrolled in a safe, convenient, affordable program. Each Campus KidCare site has its own telephone, so if you need us, you can find us.

Affordability - We recognize that child care is one of the biggest and most important expenses parents face today. So Campus KidCare designers set out to offer a top quality program that costs you less. We can do it because our overhead is covered. The schools are built, the playgrounds are ready and much of our planning time is included in our original jobs. And you, the taxpayer get the benefit, quality child care and affordability.
 
Food - We know kids and we know they get hungry. So Campus KidCare provides a nutritious snack each afternoon.

Fun! - Campus KidCare is out to provide your child with fun, kid-things to do. We even have a staff to provide homework help so when you and your child get home there's more time for family.
 
Developmentally Appropriate Activities - Wherever your child is in the scheme of the program, you can be assured that our child care experts will provide the kind of specialized activities that will help him or her get ahead. Whether that means language skills practice, motor building activities or social exercises, we'll be there to help. That's what we're trained for.
