Description: Kid Connection serves elementary students in Newton-Conover, Hickory City, and Catawba County Schools. It offers an affordable, safe, convenient and accessible program with excellent care and supervision for children in grades K-6.
We are designed to meet your needs with before-school and after-school care, student holiday care and summer day camps.
All sites are licensed by the NC Division of Child Development and provide five-star quality care.
Our sites utilize school gyms, playgrounds, cafeterias, classrooms and libraries to provide an after school experience for your child that is staffed by mature, trained individuals. Our programs nurture fun and friendship with daily activities for the kids to enjoy. We also focus on nutrition by offering a healthy snack and fruit juice to each child daily.
Where possible, ChildcareCenter provides inspection reports as a service to families. This information is deemed reliable, but is not guaranteed. We encourage families to contact the daycare provider directly with any questions or concerns, as the provider may have already addressed some or all issues. Reports can also be verified with your local daycare licensing office.
