CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — The Corpus Christi Parks and Recreation Department has renamed the Latchkey program to 'After Hour Kid Power' alongside a new sign up process for the 2020-2021 school year.
The program will begin on September 8 and offers after school child care Monday through Friday from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. at Corpus Christi and Calallen ISD schools.
"The program aims to help children build positive self-esteem through their involvement in a wide-range of activities which include recreational and fitness skills," City officials said.
City officials said students will have their temperatures taken at the door prior to entering, and parents will be required to pick up their children outside of the facility. Additional restrictions and safety guidelines can be found here.
Online registration will open August 17 at 9 a.m. and close August 21 at 6 p.m. for Corpus Christi and Calallen ISD.
