Pequot Lakes Community Education's Childcare Program Kid Konnection offers before school, after school and some non-school full day care during the school year and summer care. School Year Kid Konnection Child Care is offered to children entering grades K-5 each Fall. Summer Kid Konnection is for children entering Kindergarten through 5th grade. Children must be 5 years of age by May 1 and registered to attend Kindergarten (or Patriot Academy) in the fall in order to attend Summer Kid Konnection. Once a child has completed 5th grade, they have "aged out" of our program. The Mission of Kid Konnection is to provide each and every child with a safe and wholesome environment to play and interact. Participants will experience caring staff who offer meaningful student learning and recreational opportunities designed to enhance a child’s social, physical, cognitive and recreational skills. The Kid Konnection summer and non-school day child care is available to all families, regardless of residence or school district. The Kid Konnection before and after school program is available for children who attend Pequot Lakes Public Schools.
