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.

Kids & Company School-Age Care: Before and After School plus Summer

Kids & Company is Hopkins Public Schools' premiere before- and after-school care program for children in kindergarten through sixth-grade. A fee-based program, Kids & Company is offered in each of the District's six elementary schools. The 2021-22 school year program runs Monday through Friday, August 30-June 3, and is open 7 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Enrolling your child in before- and after-school and summer care programs can give you peace of mind while helping your child learn, do their homework, promote new interests, build strong relationships, enjoy hands-on projects, and have fun in a safe and caring atmosphere.

The deadline for each non-school day is two weeks prior to that date. Before the deadline, the price per day is $41 for non-school days. After the deadline, the price increases to $49 per day and online registration will not be available — please contact your site directly to check availability.
