Brendan Lancaster and Maddie Nikodem attend Alki Kid's Place that meets in the lower level of the Alki Congregational United Church Of Christ. The after school program, which celebrates its one-year anniversary June 24, starts its Summer Camp Program this month, ages 4 to 14.
Alki Kid's Place, an after-school program housed in the United Church of Christ, is beginning its Summer Camp Program for kids ages 4 through 14.
"We try to get to the beach as often as we can," said school director Cheryl Snyder. "With the summer program we come every day as weather permits.
"We offer flexible scheduling, which most parents appreciate," she said.
"It's so nice to have this program in our own backyard," said Hollie Nikodem, whose daughter Maddie attends. The Nikodem's live just a few blocks from the church.
"As working parent's Kid's Place has been a lifesaver for us," added Maddie's mother. "She comes home happy and exhausted."
Maddie will attend the Summer Camp Program, and it is not too late to sign up.
Alki Kid's Place celebrates its one-year anniversary June 24, 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. The public is invited, and Zeeks pizza, refreshments, and children's activities are all on the menu.
The school is located at 6115 SW Hinds St. or call (206) 938-0145.
