About
Program Overview
Kid’s Zone is a fee-based program that provides a before-and-after school care program for the Liberty Public School district at all 11 elementary schools. In addition to offering before and after school care, we also provide special care programs throughout the year, such as Non-School days, Inclement weather days, and summer camp. Every site is staffed with a Site Manager trained and certified in CPR and First Aid and many Kid’s Zone Associates to care for the students within our program's ratio.
Kid’s Zone is an environment that contributes to every child’s cognitive, social, emotional, and physical development through various activities and experiences.
Hours of Operation
Before School- 6:30 a.m. until school starts
After School- Dismissal bell to 6:00 p.m.
Our Kid's Zone Mission
To provide a safe, loving and relaxed environment where children’s physical, social, emotional, and educational needs are met.
Our Kid's Zone Vision
The creation of future leaders by maintaining excellence and high standards for the education, development, and protection of children.
Program Ratio
Kid’s Zone cannot provide one-on-one supervision during operating hours. Care of all children must allow Kid’s Zone to operate within our program guidelines and meet the 1:16 ratio (one staff member to sixteen children.) All children enrolled in Kid's Zone must meet the program's criteria. Please review the PARENT HANDBOOK for a complete criteria list.
Program Offerings
Every Kid’s Zone location offers a site-based curriculum that encourages creativity, promotes a sense of belonging, and explores student interests.
Here are some examples of activities and experiences that your child might participate in while in our care:
RECREATION: Is designed to focus on gross motor skill development, sportsmanship and social development with peers on an individual and group basis.
IMAGINATION: Is designed to create a world of their imagination. The child who loves to role play, dress-up, write scripts, maneuver puppets and practice future careers will experience an adventure of their own.
CONSTRUCTION: Is designed for opportunities to develop fine motor skills with a variety of building materials from blocks to recyclables. Children who love to work with their hands can construct entire cities, build their own zoo or engineer the eighth wonder of the world!
CREATION: Is designed for children to have an opportunity to explore, examine and create art. Children are encouraged to express their creativity using the various arts and craft materials readily accessible.
ACADEMIC ENRICHMENT: The activities of this area include experience with individual study, such as spelling and classroom teacher given homework.
