Kids Stop After School Program
Kids Stop is an after school child care program offered to students in grades K – 5. Kids Stop is designed to provide the children with quality programming that meets the social, emotional and cognitive needs of each child. The program is designed to offer children the opportunity to extend learning beyond the school day.
2025 - 2026 Registration opens on May 1, 2025 for all families currently enrolled in Kids Stop. Registration for all new families will open on June 1, 2025 (9am - 1st - 5th Grade and 11am for Kindergarten) and remain open until all spots have filled.
Early Release Day Schedule: For the upcoming school year, there will be 10 half days. On these days, the ABECC will dismiss at 12:00 PM and the elementary schools at 11:50 AM. The Kids Stop program will run from dismissal until 5:00 PM. After 5:00 PM, our Kids Stop staff will participate in required professional development sessions.
Moving on to a different school? If your child is attending a different school in the fall than they are currently attending, please list that school on their profile page when registering.
