Kids & Company: Before- & After-School Care
Kids & Company provides a safe and inclusive space for kids to explore engaging activities, build strong relationships, explore new interests, and have fun.
At this time Kids & Company is at full capacity for the 2025-26 school year.
Our Kids & Company Management Team meets weekly to review staffing levels to accommodate contract requests. As soon as we have sufficient staff to safely and satisfactorily accommodate more children, we will begin accepting additional contracts from the waitlist.
If you have a contract on the waitlist, you will be notified by email when your contract is has been accepted. You can continue to monitor your placement on the Kids & Company Placement Dashboard.
We are encouraging all families to explore additional childcare options as there is no guarantee of placement. You can visit Hopkins Community Education Youth Enrichment for before- and after-school classes.
About Us

Whether your child is joining us for a day of after-school fun or spending the summer with us, they’ll enjoy exciting activities, hands-on projects, and tons of opportunities to discover something new.
From arts and crafts to games, outdoor adventures, and academic enrichment, our programs are designed to engage every child’s imagination and nurture their unique talents. We focus on building confidence, independence, and teamwork while ensuring that your little one has a blast along the way!

Kids & Company does not operate at Hopkins Middle Schools. Royal Zone is our middle school before- and after-school program. It is an enrichment program, not a childcare program.
