King's Kids is open Monday through Friday from 7:00 A.M. to 6:00 P.M. The child care service provides a safe, reliable and nurturing environment for children who would otherwise be left at home, unsupervised while their parents are at work.

In addition to offering child care and supervision before and after school, we also offer morning and afternoon Kindergarten classes to supplement or replace public school Kindergarten programs The day care service is available on school scheduled "teacher conference" days, non federal school holidays, and most school declared "emergency snow days". The child care service is also available during the school summer vacation period for grades K through 6, from 7:00 A.M. to 6:00 P.M.

King's Kids has six separate programs. Any child may be enrolled in any one or more programs, space permitting.
The Before School Latch Key Program opens at 7:00 AM each morning. This program accommodates those parents who must be at work before their child's scheduled school day starts. The parent can drop their child off at King's Kids where our staff will greet you and care for them. When the child's school bus arrives at King's Kids for pickup, your child will be safely escorted to the waiting bus. Fayetteville-Manlius transportation is provided to the three elementary schools (Enders Road, Mott Road, Fayetteville Elementary), and the two middle schools (Wellwood and Eagle Hill) and Immaculate Conception Roman Catholic School. The busses are scheduled to arrive between 7:45 A.M. and 8:30 A.M.. However, if there is a delay with the arrival of the bus, our staff will be there to care for your child until the bus arrives.
The After School Latch Key Program is open until 6:00 P.M. every day. Parents who are unable to be home from work when their children get home from school can have their children bused to King's Kids directly from the elementary schools, middle schools or Immaculate Conception Roman Catholic school. Should the schools be dismissed unexpectedly or a scheduled early dismissal, your children will be transported by the district bus to the safety and supervision of King's Kids.
The Morning Kindergarten Program is open at 8:30 A.M. to 12:30 P.M. The King's Kids program may be used to supplement or replace the public school kindergarten program.
