Structure & Activities...
We offer different activities depending on the time of day. Quiet time is reserved for doing homework, playing quietly, reading and working on crafts. In the afternoon, outside play is encouraged, depending on the weather. Crafts and activities will be laid out so that students have an option for the afternoon activity.

History...
Kids in the Grove formerly known as (JK Kids Club) began at James Kennedy Elementary School in 2002. JK Kids Club moved to Topham Elementary School in the summer of 2004; changing its name to Kids in the Grove. In September 2007, Kids in the Grove expanded; opening another facility at West Langley Elementary School!! Our Child Care Facilities are licensed under the Community Care Facilities Act to care for children 3-12 years of age. We are proud to meet and exceed Licensing Requirements by providing trained and educated staff, appropriate child – staff ratios, and proper facility environment and equipment. Even though we are a separate entity and not part of the school curriculum; we still hold a strong & communicative relationship with our host schools. This is important to us as, we are caring for their students and families as well.
