Programs

Before and After School Care

Morning Care

Morning child care will be available for students in JK-8th grades on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays from 7:30-8 am and on Wednesdays from 7:30-8:30 am. Morning child care will cost $5 per day.

We will continue to offer Bearcat Den after school until 6 pm for Lower School students. With the afternoon Bearcat Den hours being reduced by 30 minutes, our intention is that the morning fee will not impact the total added fees for families needing child care from 7:30 am through 6 pm.

Lower School

We offer the following after school programs for students in grades JK–4:

  • AFTER SCHOOL CLASSES

    KCD’s After School Classes incorporate independent learning, academics, and enrichment activities. These programs emphasize opportunities for empowerment and skill building, development of good character and positive social skills, and integration of family, school and community supports—all in an environment supervised by caring adults. Registration deadline is two weeks prior to the start of the session.
  • INTRAMURAL ATHLETICS

    The Intramural Athletics program provides young children with an introduction to a variety of sports within KCD’s comfortable, supportive, and convenient environment. All players are welcome, regardless of ability. We emphasize the importance of teamwork, sportsmanship, and respect while promoting self-confidence, physical fitness, and Bearcat pride. We teach the value of healthy competition and that both winning and losing are vital to the development of good sportsmanship. We want every player to have fun because fun is an essential part of learning.

Middle School

The KCD Middle School Extended Day Program provides a safe and structured environment for students who remain in the academic building beyond the hours of the normal school day. Extended Day offerings are available Monday–Friday to all middle school students, including those already enrolled in after school sports, clubs, or the Fine Arts Academy.
