I have used this provider for more than 6 months

About 3 years ago I became a Character Kid, normal kids didn't want to go, but after a while i wanted to go and got devastated when I didn't, now I'm wanting to become part of the faculty, this place has made a huge impact on my life. Would highly suggest bringing your kids here!

About the Provider

Our Character Kids after-school program is receiving rave reviews... and it's not too late to enroll your child! Character Kids is housed at our parent church, First Christian Church of Bentonville.We offer a safe, fun, loving environment for elementary and middle school kids every day from 3:00-6:00pm.Character Kids offers transportation from every public school in the Bentonville Public School system, with the lone exception of Cooper Elementary in Bella Vista (and we hope to add that soon). Kids are then brought back to the church, where they enjoy a snack and a short time for free time before sitting down to do their homework. Most kids have their homework completed before they get home. After doing their homework, they have more time to play games, read, enjoy our playground, etc.

Common questions

The answers people ask us for most often.

How do I contact a provider I found here?

In most cases the provider’s direct number is included in their listing. When it is not, we list the number of the Child Care Licensing Program — you may call that number for more information, or search for the provider online.

Will ChildcareCenter pass a message on to a provider for me?

No. ChildcareCenter only provides information, so enrolment questions, tuition questions and job enquiries need to go to the provider directly using the contact details on their listing. We cannot forward them and we cannot share contact details a provider has not published.

I run a daycare — how do I correct or remove my listing?

Use suggest an update on your listing to correct any detail, or claim the listing to manage it yourself. If you have closed or no longer provide care, contact us and we will update the listing to show that.
