What is Latchkey?

It's a program for children in kindergarten through fifth grade that is offered before and after school during the school year. Students have fun and enjoy friends while under the supervision of caring adults. The program is tailored to meet the developmental characteristics and needs of each individual child. Certified teachers direct the USD 259 district programs and follow the Kansas Department of Health and Environment guidelines. District sites are licensed child care facilities and 100 percent self-funded. Staffing is based on a 1 to 15 ratio.

Children must be 5-12 years of age. 5-year-olds must be enrolled in kindergarten. 
To participate in summer latchkey, children must have completed kindergarten.

Latchkey is open on days school is in session. Check with your individual site for exact times. Most sites run approximately two hours before and after school. Summer programs are available at some sites.

Enrollment:

Enrollment is first come, first served. Parents can pick up enrollment paperwork from any latchkey site but paperwork must be turned in at the site you're registering for.
