About Us
Every day, Kids’ Country serves 2,000 children every day at our 15 elementary school-based sites. Our caring staff tailor programs and activities to the needs and interests of the children. Each site is intentionally designed to inspire and engage students in both planned and self-initiated activities that build skills, empathy, and creativity.
“Children discover ways to use things that adults would never think of. I put up a Lego Wall in the big kids’ room and some of them combined Legos with yarn to make a little pulley system. They spent weeks using it to raise and lower various things to see how much weight it could support.”
Ryan Gipson, Coyote Creek Site Director
Our Values
Our Children: Children come first
Founded by community parents looking for quality out-of-school care for their children, Kids’ Country offers children an enriched learning environment that is both challenging and fun. Programs are developed to engage children’s interests and build their skills while doing things they love.
Our Program: A Cutting Edge Approach

Each of our sites is a part of a tight knit neighborhood that is highly engaged in the success of its children. Our loyalty to our neighbors drives us to make an impact on every generation that we serve.

We love working with children and we value being a trusted resource for families. Our passion for excellence, creativity, diversity and innovation allows us to maximize our impact.
