Our goal at Highlands KIDS Club is to provide a safe, enriching, and nurturing program where children can spend time relaxing, learning, laughing, and playing. We want each child to feel like KIDS Club is their home away from home!

We have a great staff with many years of experience working with youth. Each day, we offer Power Hour (homework time); we offer support and coordinate with classroom teachers to ensure that students spend their homework time on what is most important.

KIDS Club is a great place for kids to be social during out-of-school school time! We are intentional about growing our students’ social skills. Each month, we select 3-4 social skills to focus on and discuss with the kids. In addition, we offer a wide variety of fun activities, outside/gym time, non-school day field trips and activities.

Most of all, we value the relationships we have built with our youth, families, and staff!


Running ClubFALL, SPRING (DATES TBD) We will meet at the back of the school for stretching prior to our jog/cardiovascular activities and will be running on school grounds.

Join us every day, or drop in when it fits with your schedule! Learn more: www.edinaschools.org/KIDSCLUB

Normandale KIDS Club is an extension of school-day learning for our children. We provide enrichment opportunities in the areas of music, science, art, cooking, active play, computers and construction. Developing strong social skills is a big part of our program, and we spend time each month focusing on how to do our best to do what is right! We take part in several service experiences throughout the year. We celebrate our love of reading by taking time out each week to read. . . and this means everyone, including the staff!

Our 3rd graders have a special role each school year. They lead our “3rd grade/Kindergarten Connection” program. Each 3rd grader teaches a small group of kindergarteners a new skill or project, sharing their passions and growing as leaders.

This course builds knowledge of simple machines, engineering, programming, and teamwork in an environment full of rockin’ fun!
