Character Kids Club (CKC)
School Year Care/Summer School Before and After School Care
Welcome to the Character Kids Club Program (CKC), the Fox C-6 School District’s child care program for students attending Building Blocks and Kindergarten-5th grade.
Character Kids Club (CKC) is a unique childcare program offered in your child's elementary school. This program offers child care each morning before school, and each afternoon after dismissal. Participating students engage in homework time, arts and crafts, gym time, and outside play time.
Our Family Handbook is designed to familiarize you with the program’s philosophies and procedures. Please review this handbook carefully, and if you have any questions about procedures, please feel free to ask our CKC staff or call our office. The procedures within this handbook are not to exclude or supersede Fox C-6 District policies. Character Kid’s Club will update and amend its procedures as situations warrant.
Please note: Unlike a typical daycare center, CKC operates within school buildings and works in conjunction with the district calendar and various district departments. The program operates as often as possible to assist and serve our families; however, closures due to weather, staff training, and location changes are necessary to ensure building upkeep, improvements, and overall safety are met for our students and families. Thus, our year round options and various days throughout the school year do leave days and weeks without the option of care.
Program Hours:
- Morning Hours: 6:15 AM - School Begins
- Afternoon Hours: Dismissal - 6:15 PM
