The children have time to participate in arts and crafts, drama activities, group games, cooking, science and free play on the playground. There is free choice time for building with manipulatives, playing board games, and reading, drawing and socializing with friends. The children go on a field trip and have a swim day each week. On the days they are on site, morning and afternoon snacks are served.

No. All kindergarteners are accompanied to and from class by a staff member, however.
Will I have to pay for field trips?
Answer:
Field trips are included in tuition. Occasionally, extra money is needed for lunch because we are not allowed to take food into some locations.

Tuition is based on the number of hours you contract for care. Please see the Fee Schedule (link to Fee Schedule) for current rates.
I am worried about my child attending field trips. How can I be sure my child will be safe?
Answer:
Kids’ Country has very good staff-to-child ratios, especially for field trips. All children wear camp T-shirts that match the staff’s. Children are divided into small groups to travel around and the staff does constant head counts. Staff double checks by doing roll call before the bus leaves a location.
Does Kids’ Country take credit cards?
Answer:
Not at this time. All payment is by check, money order or cash.
