About Kidstop

 

Kidstop is a before- and after-school child care program for children in grades K through 5 (accepting age 4 at Valparaiso). The school year program is held inside schools near you.

 

The program runs from 6:30 a.m. until school starts and after school until 6:30 p.m.

 

Our South Haven Club holds Kidstop at the Club and mornings only.

 

We also hold Kidstop during scheduled non-school days such as spring break, summer vacation, President’s Day, and more. See your local Club for a schedule.

 

Why you’ll love the program

Parents love our Kidstop program because they know their children are in the hands of youth guidance professionals who really care about them. Kidstop provides a way for parents to give their kids a quality before- and after-school experience at an affordable price. Kids love Kidstop because they have so many activities to choose from, including Power Hour, homework help, gym activities, outdoor games, arts and crafts, and spending time with new and old friends.
