PROVIDING CHILDCARE DURING THE COVID PANDEMIC

KIDS CO. AT DECATUR

Welcome to Kids Co. at Decatur, a childcare program located at Decatur Elementary School in the Wedgwood neighborhood. We're here to make your child's away-from-home-time fun and safe. Kids Co. at Decatur is open for full-day care during the pandemic. Kids who need care have remote school support, a variety of engaging projects and activities, reading time, a chance to safely plan with friends, and in-person positive adult interactions.

Our caring and professional staff support each child with their remote school experience as well as offer social emotional learning opportunities. This includes both synchronous and asynchronous learning and integrated learning, including physical and expanded learning activities. Staff check in , one-on-one, with each child throughout the day on the status of their assignments, are available to answer kids' questions or clarify instructions, assist with connectivity issues, and provide supplies and resources so kids can complete their work with as few challenges as possible. Staff involve the kids in program and activity planning and connect with the group to check-in on how they are doing to help them identify their feelings and process their emotions.

Full-day childcare is available Monday through Friday from 8 am to 5 pm.
