Kids' Advocacy Coalition

Our Mission:

The Kids' Advocacy Coalition's After-school Child Care Program is designed to enrich children's lives educationally, socially, culturally, emotionally, physically, and provide a safe and familiar setting for their children. Working parents are given top priority, however, if space permits, other families may participate.

The program meets the needs of children by creating an environment that offers a base of warmth and security while at the same time providing a variety of recreational, social, and academically oriented activities. Children are provided a daily snack. The program meets the needs of the children by increasing the opportunities for inter-generational interaction and by supplementing the nurturing provided by the family.

The after-school program meets the needs of parents by offering a safe, accessible, affordable program that is school-based. Parents are included in the decision making process through representation on the childcare advisory committee.

The program meets the needs of the community by providing a safe environment for children so that parents need not worry about their welfare and can be more efficient on the job. The participation of people of different racial, cultural, and economic backgrounds insures the diversity and strength of the program.

Kids' Advocacy Coalition offers after-school child care to all children without regard to race, color, national origin, sex or handicap status.
