Before and After School (ages 5-13)
School-age children look forward to spending time at Kids Can before and after school. From the playground, gym, library and computer station, children discover new interests and meet new friends. Opening at 6:00 a.m., we provide breakfast, activities and transportation to school every morning. Likewise, we also pick up children every day after school providing snacks and activities until 6:00 p.m. The fee for each program is $30 for a full week or $6 per day.
Currently we serve the following schools: Ashland Park, Pawnee, Highland, Gomez, Chandler View, Beals, Wildwood Headstart and Karen Western.
Signing Up
You may stop in anytime to fill out registration forms. We must have the completed forms as well as a copy of your children’s immunization records. Your deposit, registration fee and first week’s payments will be due before your child begins. You can directly download a registration packet, contract, CACFP form and program policies. Contact Corey Kirshenbaum, Youth Development Manager, at 731-6988 ext 214 or at ckirshenbaum@kidscanomaha.org. We are a state-licensed childcare (provider #77283875), Title XX payments are accepted.
Bad Weather Closing
We follow the OPS schedule for emergency closings (i.e. snow or heat days). For example, if OPS announces that schools will be closed because of snow, Kids Can programs will be closed as well. However, we do offer half day and full day programs for pre-determined OPS closings (parent teacher conferences, in-service days, spring and winter breaks, etc.)
