CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — The Corpus Christi Parks and Recreation Department announced their new after-school program name, “After Hour Kid Power” with a new sign-up process for the 2020-2021 school year.
After Hour Kid Power, formerly named Latchkey, is ideal for working parents or guardians that are seeking a safe and convenient place where their children will be supervised after school.
"The program starts on September 8, 2020, Monday – Friday from 3 p.m. – 6 p.m., in conjunction with the Corpus Christi and Calallen Independent School Districts schedules," said city officials.
The program's goal is to help children build positive self-esteem through their involvement in a wide range of activities.
"All program staff are trained in child development and certified in CPR and First Aid. The program is licensed by the Texas Health and Human Services. Additionally, a new safety protocol will be offered this year as we Play it Safe due to COVID-19. All children will have their temperatures taken at the door prior to entering," stated officials.
According to organizers, parents will be required to pick up their children outside of the facility.
Online sign up begins Monday, August 17, 2020, at 9 a.m. and closes Friday, August 21, 2020, at 6 p.m. for Corpus Christi and Calallen ISD.
