1 Club Dr. View detailsWhich Before and After School program locations serve my school?
Shaffer Elementary – Ranch House location.
Bradford Elementary K-6th grade – Dakota Lodge and Community Center locations.
We currently only serve those two schools.
Can Bradford students attend either the Dakota Lodge or Community Center?
Yes. Bradford students may register for either location. However, activities and programming at each site are designed for specific age groups to create a more enriching experience.
If I have children in different age groups, can they attend the same location?
Yes. Bradford families may register all children at one location for convenience. However, children may have the best experience at the site designed for their age group.
Do Before & After Care participants receive early access to summer camp registration?
Yes. Participants enrolled in the Premier Sign-Up Plan for both the fall and spring semesters receive early access to summer camp registration.
How does transportation to and from school work for Before and After school participants?
Ken-Caryl Ranch uses 14-passenger mini buses. Before & After Care instructors are also trained bus drivers and provide daily transportation between program sites and schools.
Where are school year full-day and break camps held?
All full-day programs are held at the Ranch House, regardless of your child’s regular program location.
Do you accept cash or checks for classes?
We don’t accept cash or paper checks.
You can pay using:
Electronic check with no fee
Credit card or debit card with a small processing fee
What is the cancellation policy for camps and school programs?
Before & After Care programs: Requests for a credit or refund must be submitted at least one week before the scheduled program date.
Break Camps: The cancellation deadline for Break Camps is listed on the registration page.
Can I switch my child’s scheduled care days?
Yes, provided you give at least one week’s notice and space is available on the new day.
Requests made after the cancellation deadline may require payment for the new day, and the original day may not be eligible for a refund or credit.
Why can’t I sign up for care days if I’m on drop-in status?
If you’re registered as drop-in, please email youthprograms@kcranch.org
to request specific days.
Can my child attend another on-site program during B&A hours?
Yes. If your child is enrolled in Before & After Care, we can help them attend other on-site programs during program hours. For example, if your child is in After Care at the Community Center, we can walk them to a tennis lesson. If your child is in After Care at the Ranch House, we can walk them to an after-school art class. Please let us know about any scheduled activities so we can help coordinate transportation to and from the program.
How do I find my care registration schedule? What days is my child signed up for? What weeks is my child registered for?
You can view your full schedule by logging into your ActiveNet account. Once logged in, go to your registrations to see the days and weeks your child is signed up.
How do I find my tax receipt for childcare? Can you send me my tax information for last year?
You can find your childcare tax receipts by logging into your ActiveNet account and navigating to your payment history or receipts section. If you need help locating your documents, please contact us and we’ll be happy to assist.
