About Us
Kids' Club serves families by providing before- and after-school care and a summer program for children in grades K-6. Our program follows the Grandview Heights City Schools calendar and does not operate when schools are closed due to emergencies, holidays, as well as Winter Break and Spring Break. We are sponsored by the Grandview Heights City Schools and operate a program at Stevenson Elementary and Edison Intermediate School. Kids' Club is supported by tuition and offers assistance through a federal program to qualified families.

Mission Statement
The mission of the Grandview Heights Kids' Club Program is to meet the needs of our families and our community, and to ensure that all children have a safe and nurturing environment that provides appropriate activities.

Goals

• To provide a flexible, developmentally appropriate recreation program, which complements home and school by encouraging physical, social, emotional, and intellectual growth and positive feelings of self worth.
• To provide a warm, secure environment designed to encourage decision making, problem solving, individual expression, and freedom where children respect and enjoy each other.
• To provide a competent, caring staff who understand and meet the needs of the children.
• To provide activities and materials that are age appropriate.
