Before & After-School Programs

Before-School Care

Before-school care is available from 7:15-7:50 am every day. Students must be dropped off between 7:15-7:30 am. Students arriving after 7:30 am will not be admitted to before-school care and will need to follow the school’s regular arrival procedures.

Costs

There is no cost for before-school care, but registration is required. Students will have the option to receive breakfast at this time.

Registration

In order to ensure proper supervision, registration is required to be enrolled or be added to the waitlist. Note: As of early August, we are maintaining a waitlist for before-school care. Please call the front desk for more information.

After-School Care

For the 2026-2027 School year, Midtown Community School will continue to partner with Camp Fire Heartland to run after-school programming.

Camp Fire Heartland has provided after-school programming throughout Kansas City for several years and have partnered with MCS for the past three years providing mentoring to students during the school day.

Camp Fire Heartland’s after-school program will focus on:

Social/Emotional Learning
STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math)
Finding our “sparks”
Nature and the Outdoors
Tutoring

Care is available until 6 pm every day. A snack will be provided daily.

Costs

Will be discussed upon enrollment.

Registration

Register your child(ren) with Camp Fire Heartland. If you have any questions, please reach out directly to Camp Fire at info@campfireheartland.org

Extended Care Hours

  • 7:15 – 7:50am, at which time children can proceed to their classrooms. There is no cost but registration is required. Breakfast is available.
  • 3:30 – 6:00pm after school. All MCS families are eligible to register directly through Camp Fire before August and as availability allows throughout the year. See the info on the left for the registration link.

After-School Clubs

Clubs provide an opportunity to extend learning from the school day for children. They are 10-week sessions run each semester in topics and activities that include sports, crafts, games, and other fun learning activities. Clubs cost $100 per student per club, and limited scholarships are available for families who qualify for Free & Reduced Lunch. Registration and payment is handled through the Infinite Campus Parent Portal. Some clubs fill up quickly, so please act quickly to get the choices of activities and days that will work for your family.

Please contact Mr. Stafford to learn about sponsoring a club, register your child, or ask questions.
