Mission Statement
KidsCare of Pennridge, founded in 1991, provides high-quality school-age child care for families in a safe, friendly, and child-centered environment. It offers diverse enrichment and learning activities that reinforce the educational experiences of self-esteem, develop skills for navigating challenging situations, avoid negative behaviors, foster positive social relationships, and embrace a healthy respect for the community. Our purpose is to provide children and families with high-quality, structured before-school, after-school, school-holidays, and summer camp programs in partnership with the Pennridge School District. Our programs, licensed by the DHS, are all developmentally age-appropriate and are taught by certified teachers. We take pride in our unique, creative theme-based curricula, including arts and crafts, sports, STEM, music, drama, homework helper, and more.
The aims and objectives of the KidsCare AM and PM programs are:
KidsCare “AM” Program Activities
Arrival/Attendance/Relaxation | Games/Crafts
KidsCare “PM” Program Activities (we emphasize fresh air, physical activity, and sunshine for part of each afternoon, weather permitting)
Special assemblies on music and art.
Homework help is provided for 30 minutes at each center in the afternoon only. After the 30 minute period is over, children are free to continue their homework, but staff will not be available to help as they will be providing other activities for the children. Please note that our staff are there to help with the homework but the use of tutors is the responsibility of the child.
