School-Age Program

PACCC's School-Age Programs provide fun and safe environments where children can develop their social, emotional, cognitive, and physical skills.

Programs are located on the elementary school campuses and benefit from a low adult-to-child ratio of 1:10.

We offer part-day kindergarten care daily from after school to 2:45pm (except Wednesdays, when children get out of school around 1:00pm). We also offer full-day kindergarten through fifth grade care from after school to 6:00pm. We are open on most school holidays and PAUSD in-service days from 7:30am to 6:00pm.

We offer daily teacher-led activities while creating an environment that fosters independent exploration and play with friends.

An afternoon snack is followed by teacher-supported homework time to allow for more "family time" when children get home.

Enrollment Procedure

  • Contact the Director of the Kids' Club located at your elementary school site. Contact information can be found at the individual center's page in the callout box.
  • Each Site Director maintains their own enrollment so they will be able to tell you of the openings they currently have or take your wait list information over the phone.
  • If there is space available, you will be asked to come to the program to fill out a "Contract for Services." The space will be held for one week.
  • If you get on our wait list, you will be notified by phone as soon as a space becomes available.
  • Emergency paperwork can be found on our website and is due prior to the first day of enrollment.

Drop-In Care

Palo Alto Community Child Care offers drop-in care at Kids' Club child care programs on a space-available basis. Drop-in care is often limited so please contact the Director of the program to inquire about availability. Refer to our fee schedule under Enrollment/Fees for hourly rates.
