Kids Choice Before and After School Program

Kids Choice before and after school program was established in 2007 as a partnership with the Washington Township School District to provide a safe, fun, and nurturing environment for school age children. We provide before school activities from 7:00am to the beginning of school and after school care from the time school is dismissed until 6:00pm. Both programs operate from Monday through Friday and are conveniently located in every elementary and middle school.

Before School Care

Our before school morning program provides a place they can take their child that is safe and fun. It helps start their day at school on a positive note. Readying their minds and emotions to successfully begin their day. Breakfast will not be served in the Before School Program, however you may send your child with a nutritious snack/meal.

After School Care

Our after-school program provides the opportunity for each child to do their homework assignments and seek assistance when needed. We offer a variety of age-appropriate supervised activities such as games, athletics, arts & crafts that encourage free play and creativity. We also provide a healthy and nutritious snack for the children enrolled in the after-school program.
