What We Do

Kids Co. at McDonald, located at the McDonald International School, is a program full of adventure, discovery, encouragement of using your imagination, and a wonderful way for kids to make memories that they will cherish for a lifetime! Offered five days a week, our program is designed to give kids a voice and help them grow, stay engaged while having fun, and to help make lifelong friends. Our afternoons are filled with Snack Time, Free Play, Outdoor Play, Homework Time, and Activity Time. Our program has monthly themes and our amazing staff plan enrichment activities that are always popular and make the kids never want to leave! We finish our day with low-key games and free play, to prepare for pick-up.

Summer Day Camp-Summer of Discovery!
July - August 2019

Our Kids Co. Summer Day Camps keep kids active, having fun, and learning all summer long so come along with us!

Kids will play with friends, create and explore new things, and travel to different places each week.

We are excited to launch our new programs, Kids Co.’s Big Read and Summer Run for Fun. Each day kids will dive into good books and track their progress, and collect “reading” tokens. Summer Run for Fun is our way of incorporating exercise, in a fun way, into our daily routine. Kids will earn “running shoes” tokens and track how far they’ve run, jogged, walked, or even skipped. Each Monday is Wheels Day, where kids are encouraged to bring their bikes, scooters, or anything else with wheels, to add a little more fun to the day!
