Kidstop School Age Care

Dedicated to providing an enriching choice-based education in a safe and welcoming environment where children are inspired, personal growth is nurtured and families are supported.

About Us

We provide a supportive, fun school-age education experience. Every aspect of what we do has your child in mind. Choice-based programming allows your child to make decisions about how they want to spend their time while in our program which can help develop leadership skills as well as confidence.

Whether your child craves challenge and adventure, connection and friendships or just wants to chill, we offer engaging opportunities as unique as your child. 

Why Choose Kidstop

Active Learning

We build the core of the district mission into our programs by engaging students in active learning and providing homework support to students in the program.

Encouragement

We work to build each child's confidence, courage and competence by creating a "can do", fun, interactive environment. 

Opportunities

We build our programs around student choice, which promotes their emerging independence and leadership skills.

Recognition 

We understand children and recognize the special gifts each brings to our programs. We build off of this and support each child to realize his or her unique importance. We create an environment that supports the culture and background of each child.
