Kids Can Community Center

The out-of-school programs develop skills in children 5 to 13 years old that promote personal and academic growth by providing safe, structured social and education skill building activities. On-site programs encompass before school, after school, one-on-one mentoring, and full day programs throughout the year. School based programs provide after school activities during the academic year and park-based programs provide full day activities during the summer. The goals of the program include: 1) youth will increase academic competencies, 2) youth will demonstrate curiousity and future focus, 3) youth will develop positive behaviors.

Community programs provide a variety of activities and services that may include family nights, neighborhood events, holiday assistance programs, free tax preparation, and gymnasium rentals. These programs run through the entire calendar year and beyond our normal business hours, including evenings and weekends.

The early childhood education program is state-licensed childcare preparing children for school. For children ages 6 weeks to 5 years old, we offer three early childhood classrooms open from 6:00 am to 6:00 pm on weekdays. Kids Can utilizes the creative curriculum and handwriting without tears programming. The goals of the program are: 1) children are academically on track to be kindergarten ready, 2) children are socially and emotionally on track to be kindergarten ready, 3) children are physically on track to be kindergarten ready.
