Kids' Country
A School Age Child Care Program of
Johnson County Schools

 

Our Kids' Country Child Care Program provides safe, educationally enriching, quality care for youngsters during the hours when there may be no adult supervision in the home. Childcare is available for children from ages four to twelve. Four year olds must be enrolled in a Head Start program. Children will have the opportunity to engage in activities that will benefit them emotionally, physically, and educationally. The program includes crafts, sports and games, snacks, art, and music, and many other creative and cultural activities. A special time each day will be allotted for homework and tutorial assistance if it is needed. The program is conducted and planned by a staff trained to meet the needs of children and to provide positive adult models. There is flexibility enough to accommodate children from different age groups while fulfilling the special needs of individuals. This comprehensive child chare program for Kids' Country children is designed to supplement and support the child's experiences at home and at school. It is not babysitting, but a quality program designed with the working family in mind.
