The Detroit Lakes School Age Child Care Program (Laker Kids) was designed to meet the needs of the area families. Our primary goal is to provide a safe, happy, and enriching supervised environment for your child(ren) and provide activities for learning and fun with a limited amount of structure. 

The activities planned by the Laker Kids staff emphasize development of educational and recreational skills. Although space is provided for students to do homework, we will not emphasize academic skills. Activities include recreation and gym time, games, outdoor time, crafts and creative play. 

The after school Child Care Program is for students in Full Day Preschool through Grade 5. The Summer Laker Kids program is for students entering Kindergarten-5th grade!
