Kids Co. at John Hay, located at John Hay Elementary, provides a high-quality after-school care program focused on building students’ self-confidence, life skills, and curiosity. In our after-school program, students join us in one of our two rooms: a pull-out space in a classroom for our Kindergarten – 1^st graders, and a pull-out program in John Hay’s spacious cafeteria for our 2^nd-3^rd graders, and another pull-out space in a classroom for our 4^th-5^th graders. All three of the after-school programs serve as a time for students to wind down after a long day at school. Snack is available upon arrival. Our after-school program is based on choice. Students make decisions to participate in our daily teacher-led activity, indoor free-play, or outdoor/gym active play. A dedicated homework time allows students a safe and supportive environment to get a start on their homework. A group clean-up and evening meeting finish off our day.
