Childcare Model

Wayzata Kids is a choice-based program, which means that students select their own activities from a variety of planned options. This strengthens student engagement and offers students a sense of ownership over their out-of-school time.

During the school year, our students enjoy low-structure time before and after school.  We offer a mix of:

• Arts and crafts
• Field trips
• Sports and bike days
• Clubs and games
• Outdoor and gym play
• Relationship and resilience skills

We provide a healthy afternoon snack.

Summer approach

Our 10-week summer program is robust. Students come for the whole day. We offer:

• STEAM activities 
• Arts and crafts
• Field trips
• Sports and bike days
• Clubs and games
• Outdoor and gym play
• Relationship and resilience skills

Snacks and transportation

• We provide healthy morning and afternoon snacks. 
• Students need to bring their own lunch. 
• We do not provide transportation.

• Our teams are made up of the site manager, lead program instructors, program instructors, inclusion assistants and program assistants. 
• We maintain a ratio of one staff member for every 15 students. 
• A nurse and three inclusion specialists support all sites to ensure we are meeting each student’s needs.
