PLEASE NOTE: Our regular Kidstop childcare program, along with Four Star Express and SPOT, is suspended until further notice.

Kidstop is a choice-based, high quality and enriching school-age care experience for children in Kindergarten - 5th grade.

Whether your child craves challenge and adventure, connection and friendships, or just wants to chill, Kidstop offers engaging opportunities as unique as your child. Every aspect of what we do has your child in mind. Choice-based programming allows your child to make choices about how they want to spend their time while in our program.

Kidstop is open from 6:30 AM until the school start time, and from school end time until 6:00 PM.

Tuition includes a healthy morning breakfast and afternoon snack based on Osseo Area Schools food and nutrition guidelines.
