What is Kid’s Time?

Kid’s Time is an after school program that provides quality care for your elementary school-aged child, in a safe, supportive environment. At Kid’s Time, the children can utilize the cafeteria, gym, library, and computer rooms when available.

The Kid’s Time Program is being offered at three Niskayuna Elementary Schools; Birchwood, Craig, & Rosendale. Each site will need a minimum of 25 children per day to operate. If any of the sites do not reach the minimum amount of enrollment, programs will then be combined, and bussing will be available between the schools from the Niskayuna Transportation Department.
