KidzU - Elementary Extended Care Programs

2019-2020 Rates: Standard | GCISD Employees | Summer 2019

KidzU, GCISD's Extended Care program offers before and after school care and a variety of care options that fit any family's needs. At KidzU, children have the convenience of care right in their elementary schools, allowing them to easily participate in school activities such as choir practice, chess club or tutoring. Each site is equipped with toys, games, arts and craft materials, and homework supplies.

Experienced staff members provide students with a variety of planned activities, special projects, and enrichment opportunities. KidzU days of operation will coincide with the GCISD school calendar with care during school holidays being offered at one school location.

In 2003, Extended Care Services began in Grapevine-Colleyville ISD with a mission to provide quality before and after school care. During prior years, GCISD had outsourced this service but decided to operate their own programs with any profits going directly into the District's general operating fund. Within the District, Extended Care Services operates the KidzU Program and the Early Childhood Development Center. Both programs are tuition-based, self-funded and staffed by GCISD employees.

Hours of Operation: KidzU operates before school, beginning at 6:30 AM, and after school until 6:30 PM. We are available for early dismissal days as well!  

Holidays Observed: KidzU will not operate on New Year's Eve, New Year's Day, MLK Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Fall Professional Development Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day, and the day after Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Eve, and Christmas Day.
