Peoria Unified Community Education

The Peoria Unified School District is proud to offer the KidZone program, our innovative before and after school care program. Through this program, K-8 students are able to learn and interact in a safe, caring environment. The KidZone Mission is to provide a physically and emotionally safe environment where children can participate in engaging activities and build positive relationships. KidZone Fees can be found on our homepage. KidZone's 2024 Summer EdCamp will be offered at Desert Valley, Foothills and Frontier Elementary Schools. KidZone is currently available in the following Peoria Unified elementary schools in the city of Glendale: Copperwood, Desert Valley, Foothills, Heritage, Marshall Ranch and Sahuaro Ranch. Foothills, Desert Valley, and Marshall Ranch are currently on a waitlist for before and after school for the current school year. Sahuaro Ranch and Heritage have reached capacity after school. Families registering will be placed on a waitlist for the current school year. Transportation is available for Canyon Elementary School students to attend KidZone at Desert Valley Elementary School. Transportation is also available for Pioneer Elementary School students to attend KidZone at Foothills Elementary School.

Each day, your child will spend time becoming familiar with the Kindergarten classroom setting and practicing classroom routines. Students will visit different areas of the campus like the library, cafeteria and playground. Students will receive a daily snack and socialize with other students to help alleviate any anxiety they might experience on their first day of school.  Note: There is no nurse on site during Kinder Camp. Medicines will not be kept or administered.  Due to unforeseen circumstances, Apache will no longer be hosting 2020 Kinder Camp. If you would still like your child to attend, please select an alternative location. We apologize for any inconvenience.
