KIDS CO. AT JOHN HAY
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 – 1st graders, and a pull-out program in John Hay’s spacious cafeteria for our 2nd-3rd graders, and another pull-out space in a classroom for our 4th-5th 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.

Before School Care
Kids Co.’s before school program offers kids a safe place to start their day. Every morning, Kids Co. offers breakfast and free time during which kids can choose from lots of activities like building, quiet reading, games, art station, or just hanging out with friends. After students gain some of their morning energy, they can join our talented and caring staff in an exciting activity! Past activities include science experiments, building projects, and group games. Join us at Kids Co.'s before school program, where students start their days off right!
After School Care

Through our structure and activities, staff members focus on teaching students about social-emotional, problem-solving, and leadership skills through play. We offer afternoon snack, inside free time, recess, and homework help as well as one teacher-led activity per day and opportunities for student-led activities. These activities vary and can include STEM challenges, arts and craft activities, active games, cooking projects, and more.
