Before and After School Programs

Setting the bar higher with robust youth programs founded on FUN

The sounds of kids laughing and playing are the sounds of kids learning at Kids ‘R’ Kids. In our before and after school programs, school agers can build upon their education outside of school by participating in various clubs and activities that challenge them in fun new ways! Each child will learn more and grow more by making new friends and absorbing new concepts every day.

Defining their greatness

We happen to believe that kids are pretty great to begin with

Our before and after school programs, holiday breaks and summer camps are designed to help kids dig a little deeper and find those ambitions, traits and talents that will help them define their personal greatness.

From fun character-building and STEAM-based activities to social interactions with real staying power, our G.Y.M curriculum® is ideal for “Growing Young Minds” – providing school agers with the tools necessary to make their dreams a reality.

Shared experiences lead to lasting friendships

They go together like peanut butter and jelly

Social development is an important part of the role we play in each child’s life. Whether before and after school or during one of our camps, our programs give kids a chance to interact in fun, stress-free and collaborative environments. Memory making occurs daily as kids share experiences, and laughter is sure to erupt during action-packed activities.

Digging a little deeper to find those ambitions, traits and talents

Kids try new things as they gain confidence

Forming friendships and tackling challenges together are only part of the equation to becoming more confident. Opportunity and encouragement play major roles, too. That’s why our engaged teachers inspire kids to explore unchartered territories like sports, art, drama, science, technology, cooking and more.

Finding a passion and unearthing an unknown talent go a long way in building a kid’s sense of self-worth – assuring them they are truly enough, and their potential greatness knows no bounds!

Where curiosity launches innovation everyday

Curiosity launches innovation!

More robust than most, our innovative before and after school programs are thoughtfully engineered for K – 5th grade students! We provide a wide variety of activity clubs to fit their interests and homework clubs to ensure their scholastic success, while providing dedicated homework-free family time at the end of the day.

Our programs serve as an impactful segue between the demands of school and the comforts of home, and our extended hours alleviate some of your stress, too! It’s about more than snacks and blowing off steam on the playground, we’re expanding their minds to new possibilities and encouraging them to act on new-found passions.

Regular use of imagination is not only encouraged… it’s celebrated

ENHANCING A CHILD’S UNIQUE GREATNESS

Every hour of every day we have each child’s best interest at heart, as they form lasting friendships, explore new experiences and discover hidden talents. Our mission is to help school agers enhance their unique greatness beyond the school year program.

We also offer field trips, holiday breaks and summer camps built on a foundation of FUN and self-discovery. The most important lesson a child will learn is THE SKY IS THE LIMIT!

The Salvation Army Supplements and Supports Kids’ Educational Opportunities Through:

Homework Assistance and Counseling

The Salvation Army’s high-quality after-school programs serve children and youth of all ages. We provide one-on-one assistance with homework and school assignments, as well as the teaching and advancement of literacy and study skills.

Many of our facilities also include computer labs to help children with their homework. The Cedar Rapids Salvation Army recently opened a new computer lab, complete with ten computers, at its C Avenue headquarters. The lab provides academic support to kids who otherwise have no access to computers.

Sports, Clubs, and Extracurricular Activities

Healthy minds and healthy bodies are both crucial elements of youth development. Our no-fee and low-cost after-school programs offer children from low-income neighborhoods a chance to play sports, learn athletic skills, and cultivate healthy, safe relationships with friends through better social skills.

At the Seattle White Center facility, we organize youth sports leagues for basketball and futsal. Futsal is a simple soccer game, played on the gym floor with a low-bounce ball and smaller goals. Besides having a blast, the kids learn essential teamwork skills that will follow them for the rest of their lives.

Dance, Art, and Music Programs

Our youth community programs enable children to experience music and art education in positive no-cost or low-cost environments. Our wide array of classes focuses on everything from choir, band, and dancing to drawing, writing, and acting.

The Gresham Corps Youth Center in Oregon recognized the need for music programs after many schools in the area could no longer afford them, so it began an after-school music program. From choirs to instrument training, activities and lessons instill an early love for and appreciation of the fine arts.

Parental Involvement Coaching

Each Salvation Army community center is dedicated to equipping parents with the skills needed to support and sustain their children’s educational needs.

One very special example is the “Fatherhood in Action” program at The Salvation Army Metropolitan Division in Chicago. There they help men learn successful co-parenting skills and provide job training and placement assistance to help them be better dads to their kids.

 Serving All Without Discrimination

In providing its after-school and summer camp programs and services to families, The Salvation Army is committed to accommodating all those in need without unlawful discrimination or harassment based on age, race, color, religion, sex, national origin, marital status, disability, citizenship, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, or any other characteristic in accordance with our capacity to help.

Other Ways We Meet Needs

Before & After School Distance Learning Lab

Kids Klub’s School-Age Program is more than just a place for your child to hang out while waiting to be taken to school—or picked up after a long day at school. What sets us apart is: our dynamic, well-rounded programming; our loving staff that gets to know each child for who they are; and a top-notch homework room where your child will actually learn, complete their work correctly, and acquire valuable study skills.

Our School-Age Program looks to strengthen your child’s zest for learning and living, while providing the comfort and safety of a home away from home. By providing structure and routine, combined with the excitement of fun activities and engaging people, we actively facilitate your child’s academic, physical, social and emotional growth.

Whether your child is “buying” a prize with stars that he/she earned during Homework Time; constructing a model of his/her dream home in Architecture Class during Hobby Hour; collaborating with other children by creating a skit for the Holiday Show; or singing with his/her favorite bus driver on the way to or from school…your child will create special memories and bonds each and every day at Kids Klub.
