 Kid's Kare Program Information

Kid's Kare offers child care services both before and after the elementary school day. This safe, caring environment provides children with an opportunity to participate in arts and crafts, board games, outdoor play, homework time and more.

Kids Kare will operate at Hutchings and Three Fires (due to location and dedicated space) and at Little Highlanders Learning Center for students from Challenger, Southwest, Northwest, and Voyager.
