November 18, 2020 update:
Dear CKC families,
As you probably have already heard, the district will be going all virtual beginning Monday, November 23 through Friday, December 4. The hope is that we can get back to hybrid on Monday, December 7.
Unfortunately, this means CKC will not be able to operate. I am sorry for the inconvenience this may pose. Your child’s CKC Coordinator will stay in touch with you while our district is virtual. They will email and communicate as needed to prepare for your child’s return to school and to the CKC program. CKC will not be charging any tuition for the time the district is operating virtually.
I also wanted to share that IF we are able to operate a winter break CKC program, it would be offered only December 28, 29, 30. The program would be located at the Service Center. The ONLY way this may be an option is if Jefferson County is out of the RED COVID status on December 16. Based on our current county situation, this winter break CKC program is only a possibility. Our CKC department will email you again by Friday, Dec. 4 with specifics about the winter break possibility and the registration link.
Finally, like all of you, I feel like we are drifting about in a surreal world. This has been a crazy year and one none of us will ever forget. I appreciate your dedication to our CKC program. Please know the CKC staff are truly dedicated to caring for your children, and we all look forward to getting back together.
Stay healthy and stay strong! Have a blessed Thanksgiving.
The following are protocols that are in effect this school year:
Touchless signing in/out- Parents will use an assigned QR code to scan their child in and out of CKC. The QR codes will be issued to you via email, starting this week. The program we use is KinderConnect that was implemented by the Department of Social Services of Missouri. If you would like to download the app now, you can do so by reviewing instructions in the manual here: KinderSmart of Missouri .
Regular attendance- Parents will be charged weekly for the attendance chosen at registration. As a department we have been flexible in past years with adjusting fees and with allowing random attendance. As a result, this method has been cumbersome for our administrative team each week, and it has been difficult to gauge the number of staff needed to meet student to staff ratios, and it has kept families on waitlists who need regular care. If you need to modify your child’s attendance please contact our office so we can make the change in the Tyler system and apply the correct weekly fees. If you choose to unenroll your child in the CKC program please call our office to do so at 636-282-6915.
CKC will provide the following provisions depending on the level of in-person attendance in the Flexible Learning Plan. Please know that these options could change throughout the school year.

We recognize that child care is an essential need for many of our families and being able to provide this service even in a limited capacity is what we are striving to do.
