Kidstown

The J’s before and after school care program is a town just for kids in kindergarten to 5th grade.

In Kidstown we believe that children thrive in a safe and engaging environment. Our dedicated staff connects with each child by encouraging high self-esteem, healthy lifestyles, and positive social interactions. There’s always something fun in Kidstown!

At Kidstown, you’ll find:

Community: We meet first as a community to share a snack and talk about our days.
Games and sports: Kids get to have fun and burn off their energy!
Homework help: Our counselors and staff assist with small group work and individualized instructions that allow children to learn and expand on the knowledge gained in the classroom.
Exploration: We encourage kids to learn and discover. From crafts and music to board games and science, there’s always something new to uncover.
Dedicated staff: Our low child-to-staff ratio allows our staff to make real connections with the kids and provide them with personal attention and guidance.
Transportation: Buses from Mercer Island schools pick kids up from Kidstown in the morning and drop them off in the afternoon.
