What is The Kids Club After-School Program?
Kids Club is open to all school-aged children in kindergarten through grade six who live within the Allen ISD boundaries.
Kids Club is an after-school program designed to provide children of working parents with a safe, engaging atmosphere. The program provides after-school care for children in kindergarten through grade six. Kids Club members are able to choose from a variety of recreational, social and enrichment activities each day. Kids Club is supported by parent fees and serves more than 1,800 children at 18 elementary schools. Kids Club is not a licensed day care and has received exemption from the governance of child-care licensing.
Kids Club staff members are employees of Allen ISD. Kids Club programs are managed at each school by a Site Coordinator. Each Site Coordinator will work with the children and manage the day-to-day operations of the program. Adult assistants are hired to work with children and student assistants also support students according to specific site needs.
