Support for Your Whole Day
We know many families need care beyond the school day. That is why Kids Campus also offers before- and after-school care to help support busy schedules and give children a safe, familiar place to begin and end their day.
For families who qualify, the Maryland Child Care Scholarship may help cover the cost of extended care, making it easier to create a full-day solution that works for your family.
Why Families Choose Kids Campus
Since 2006, Kids Campus has been a trusted home-away-from-home for families in Dunkirk, a place where children are seen as individuals, educators partner with parents, and every day is treated as an adventure in learning.
Our classrooms are designed to help children explore the world around them, build friendships, practice kindness and empathy, and grow with confidence. This grant allows us to open that door to even more children and families in our community.
Choosing a school is one of the most important decisions you will make for your family. We are here to help make that decision feel easier, clearer, and more supported.
Limited Grant-Funded Spots Available
Space in this program is limited, and interest is expected to be high. Families who apply early will have the first opportunity to receive enrollment support, confirm eligibility, and learn more about orientation dates.
