Before & After School Care

Peace of Mind and Extra Help

Our school age program consists of before and after school care and support. Our program provides a place where students can get homework help and unwind from the day by socializing with friends, playing games, and taking part in diverse, engaging programming such as Feed Me Fresh, where they maintain their class gardens, prepare fun, healthy snacks, and manage their own “farm stand”.

Before school, MKCCC’s kitchen provides a well-balanced breakfast for all students.  After school the children receive healthy snacks included as part of our program.  On days when schools close for vacation, teacher trainings, and even, when possible, weather, MKCCC opens the program to full day so that we can better support parents and families.

“My daughter just started school-age and it has been such a great program. It has helped with her transition to kindergarten and they take such great care of her in the morning before school and after.”

STACY C., MKCCC Parent

“MKCCC After School Care provides a safe, fun, and engaging place for our elementary school-aged children to attend after the school day has ended. This allows us, as parents, to finish the “9-5” while our children are in great care. The After School Care program has a variety of activities including homework help, outdoor play, arts and crafts, games, books, and everything in between. We are so thankful for the MKCCC After School Care teachers and MKCCC!”

TESTIMONIALS

What people are saying

MELISSA D., MKCCC Parents

“Being a working parent, after a typical work day it is satisfying to know that your child’s homework has been completed and checked, which is all due to the after school program and the efforts of the teachers. As MKCCC is approaching its end with Jocelyn, it’s also just beginning for my second child Christian. Those decorative walls have seen him try new foods, crawl, babble new words, to taking his first steps and much more. All of which wouldn’t be possible without the teachers he’s had. At two years old, with all the hard work and dedication from the teachers, I like to pretend that he is a mini rocket scientist. He knows all his colors, even the difference between beige and khaki. Impressive right? He can count from 1 – 20, although 20 somehow turns into 100 every now and then. He can sing his ABC’s just wait until he gets to L, M, N, O, P! Yes, he can sing them and he can also point out every letter in the alphabet soup. I greatly appreciate Dawn and all the wonderful teachers that have helped mold and teach not only my kids, but the rest of the MKCCC students. This wouldn’t be possible without every single one of you from infants to the afterschool program. Success is built on a strong foundation and this is what Mount Kisco Child Care provides.”

VANESSA KARDOS, Toddler Program

Supervisor/Toddler A Head Teacher

“I’ve been a toddler teacher here at MKCCC for 16 years. These have been the most rewarding years of my life. Building the foundation for children to develop upon and blossom into little explorers ready to take on the world is the most wonderful phenomenon to watch. Many of the children who were among the first classes I had, are now returning as volunteers. It’s amazing to see these kids as well-rounded adolescents who give their time to spend with us. I love working here at MKCCC and most of all love that I spend my days giving and receiving such love.”
