After School Care in Keller ISD
What do you do for after school care for your elementary age kids in the Keller ISD? What is the rate for after school care in this area? My daughter starts Kindergarten next month and I plan on going back to work and need to find someplace safe and fun she can go to until her dad or I can pick her up.
Thanks!

DO NOT take your children to Children's Lighthouse on Shiver!!!!! NO. You can message me privately about that if necessary. Children's Courtyard on Parkwood Hill--new facility, clean, nice staff.

Keller ISD offers Clayton afterschool care at the elementary schools.

I liked Clayton, but your experience is going to be highly dependent on the site manager. Ours was very nice, but a stickler for rules and not really 'boy' friendly, which was a bit of a problem for us since we have a typical boy :) The main complaint I had with it was that all the kids were together and my K daughter spent most of her time with 3rd & 4th grade girls and picked up some inappropriate things. Not entirely Clayton's fault, but they couldn't prevent it and it was enough of a concern for us that we pulled them out. Again - different campuses have different site managers so experiences will differ as well.
Children's Lighthouse on Shiver is also a great daycare. All the afterschoolers are together, but they have more kindergartener appropriate toys/activities. My son went there after first grade and we really liked it. Owners are nice, front office staff is fantastic, and the teachers are good.
Children's Courtyard on Parkwood-Hill Blvd is very nice, they keep the kindergarteners in a seperate classroom which I really liked. We didn't use them because my schedule changed, but they looked great. If we needed 5 day/wk care again we would use them.
