The KidZone Program provides affordable, after-school care for elementary school children in a supervised environment. KidZone runs on weekdays from school dismissal time through 6:00pm, with partial, half and full days. Program costs range from $85 to $185 weekly, depending on the length of the day. Discounts are available on a sliding scale basis. Daily pick-up from school is available.
