Register your child for the upcoming 2026-27 school year!
At Kid Adventures, we believe every child deserves a place where they feel safe, valued, and inspired to grow. As a nonprofit organization, our mission is to provide a high-quality before and after-school program where elementary-aged children can explore new interests, build lasting friendships, develop confidence, and discover the joy of learning through meaningful, hands-on experiences.
Located within Hillsboro-Deering Elementary School, Kid Adventures serves as an extension of the school day by providing a welcoming environment where children continue learning through creativity, exploration, movement, and play. Every afternoon is filled with opportunities to ask questions, solve problems, create, imagine, and build skills that last a lifetime. This reflects the program's mission of creating a safe, supportive, and engaging environment where children can learn, grow, and thrive.
Kid Adventures is a nonprofit organization committed to creating a safe, supportive, and engaging environment where elementary-aged children can learn, grow, and thrive. Through meaningful activities and experiences, we help build confidence, support academic success, encourage positive relationships, and strengthen partnerships between families, schools, and the community.
We believe children learn best when they are actively engaged, encouraged to explore, and given opportunities to make meaningful choices. Our program is intentionally designed to support the whole child by nurturing academic growth, social-emotional development, creativity, and character through developmentally appropriate, hands-on learning experiences.
Every activity has a purpose. Whether children are designing a STEM project, creating artwork, exploring nature, working together to solve a challenge, or participating in community service, they are building confidence, strengthening relationships, and developing skills that extend far beyond the classroom. Your handbook emphasizes student voice and choice, hands-on learning, and supporting academic, social, emotional, and character development—all wonderful themes to carry onto the website.
Unlike a traditional after-school childcare program, Kid Adventures is an enrichment-based program. Our daily schedule is thoughtfully planned to provide children with opportunities to:
Explore STEM through hands-on experiments and engineering challenges
Express creativity through art, music, and imaginative play
Develop leadership, teamwork, and communication skills
Strengthen social-emotional skills through our RESPECT values and positive relationships
Stay active through outdoor play and physical recreation
Receive homework support and academic enrichment
Discover new interests through themed learning experiences and special events
Every day is designed to inspire curiosity, encourage exploration, and make learning fun.
We recognize that families are a child's first and most important teachers. By working together, we create a strong foundation that helps children thrive both in our program and beyond.
We are committed to:
Providing a safe and welcoming environment for every child
Maintaining open and respectful communication with families
Offering engaging, high-quality programming
Supporting the social, emotional, physical, and academic development of each child
Building meaningful partnerships with our school and community
At Kid Adventures, we believe every child deserves to feel seen, heard, and valued. Whether they are joining us before school to start their day with confidence or spending the afternoon exploring, creating, and growing with friends, our goal is for every child to leave feeling successful, connected, and excited to return tomorrow.
Because at Kid Adventures, every day is an opportunity to learn, grow, and discover something new.
