About KIDS:PLUS
KIDS:PLUS is the only before (at select locations) and after school child care in Cabarrus County conveniently located at each elementary school, eliminating the need to transport school aged children off site. We are dedicated to providing the best possible care, in a financially sound manner, for the children enrolled in Cabarrus County Schools.
Established in 1985 at R. Brown in response to community need, KIDS:PLUS now has expanded to each of the elementary schools in Cabarrus County School System. The KIDS:PLUS before school program opens at 6:15 a.m. The KIDS:PLUS after school program is open until 5:45 p.m. We offer full-day care programs ("Special Days") on select non-school days and summer camp.
Each KIDS:PLUS program is dedicated to providing quality school-age care. Our programs are licensed by the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services, Division of Child Development and all programs currently hold a five-star rated license.
Children in KIDS:PLUS will be provided with a balance of structured and free-choice activities designed to stimulate the child’s social, emotional, intellectual and physical development.
We offer fun, developmentally approptiate enrichment activities and opportunities (involving food, science, history, math, arts/crafts, and more!) such as:
Character Building Education
Quiet/Study Time
Time for Social Interaction
Special activities/events through our community partnerships, such as 4-H
Organized indoor and outdoor games and physical activities
KIDS:PLUS believes all children should receive quality care in a safe and nurturing environment. The KIDS:PLUS staff recognizes each child as an individual and believes a child’s self-image is developed between the ages of 5-12. We believe students learn through play and interaction. We offer materials and activities that are age appropriate to guide growth and development. We continually adapt our programs to best facilitate the growth in a student’s development regardless of his/her age or stage of development.
