Nutrition

During camp programs, Kid Adventures provides snacks, and families provide lunch.

Attendance and Pick Up

What if my child will be absent?

Please notify Kid Adventures directly if your child will be absent, leaving school early, attending an after-school club or activity, or has a change in transportation plans.

Because Kid Adventures operates independently from the school district, we do not receive attendance or dismissal updates from the school.

Can someone else pick up my child?

Yes. Anyone picking up your child must:

Be listed as an authorized pick-up person, or
Be approved by a parent or guardian in advance

All authorized pick-up individuals should be prepared to show photo identification.

What if I need to pick my child up before 4:30 PM?

Our enrichment activities are intentionally scheduled to provide meaningful learning and social experiences. Whenever possible, we encourage families to schedule appointments outside of program hours.

If an early pick-up is necessary, please notify Kid Adventures in advance.

What happens if I'm running late?

Kid Adventures closes promptly at 6:00 PM.

If you anticipate being late, please contact us as soon as possible. Late pick-up fees apply beginning at 6:00 PM.

Health and Safety

What happens if my child becomes sick?

Children who develop a fever, vomiting, diarrhea, or symptoms of a communicable illness during the program must be picked up promptly. Children may return once they have been symptom-free for at least 24 hours without fever-reducing medication or as directed by their healthcare provider.

Can my child receive medication during the program?

Yes, with the proper documentation.

Prescription and non-prescription medications require parent authorization, appropriate licensing forms, and must be provided in their original container.

What happens if my child gets hurt?

Staff provide first aid, complete an accident report, and notify families according to the nature of the injury. Serious injuries are reported immediately, and emergency medical services are contacted when necessary.

Are your staff trained?

Yes. Kid Adventures staff meet New Hampshire licensing requirements and participate in ongoing professional development. Staff members are trained in child supervision, health and safety practices, behavior guidance, emergency procedures, and creating a positive, supportive learning environment.

Weather and Closures

What happens if school is canceled?

Kid Adventures follows the Hillsboro-Deering School District's weather-related closures. If school is canceled, dismissed early, or after-school activities are canceled, Kid Adventures will also be closed.

Families are notified through Brightwheel and our Facebook page.

Do children go outside?

Yes! Outdoor play is an important part of our program whenever weather conditions are safe. Please send your child dressed appropriately for the season.

Program Philosophy

What makes Kid Adventures different?

Kid Adventures is an enrichment-based program that goes beyond traditional childcare. Our intentionally planned activities encourage creativity, critical thinking, social-emotional growth, physical activity, and academic enrichment through hands-on learning experiences.

We believe children learn best when they are actively engaged, given opportunities to make choices, and supported by caring adults in a safe and welcoming environment.

Is homework help available?

Yes. Students have dedicated time each afternoon for homework assistance and quiet academic support. While we encourage students to complete assignments, our goal is to provide guidance, encouragement, and a positive learning environment rather than guarantee all homework is finished.

Financial Assistance

Is financial assistance available?

Yes! Financial assistance may be available through the New Hampshire DHHS Child Care Scholarship Program for eligible families. Please contact the Director for more information about scholarship opportunities.

Family Partnership

How can families stay informed?

We communicate regularly through Brightwheel, email, and our website. Families are encouraged to keep contact information up to date so they never miss important announcements.

Can I volunteer?

Absolutely! We welcome family volunteers, guest presenters, and community members who would like to share a hobby, career, or special talent with our students. Please contact the Director to learn about volunteer opportunities.

How can I support Kid Adventures?

As a nonprofit organization, Kid Adventures appreciates support through volunteering, fundraising, sponsorships, donations, and service on our Board of Directors. Community involvement helps us expand enrichment opportunities for the children and families we serve.
