Montgomery County Recreation (MCR) has designated three upcoming days for its “Kids Day Out” program to keep children active when Montgomery County Public Schools (MCPS) has scheduled days off.
“Kids Day Out,” a partnership with MCPS, provides out-of-school supervised recreation program on days that the county public schools system are closed to students. The program emphasizes health, physical fitness, imagination and fun.
According to a county press release:
“Kids Day Out” will offer full-day programming from 8:30 a.m. -4 p.m. on Monday, Jan. 24, and Tuesday, Feb. 1. Half-day programming will be available from 1:30-6:30 p.m. on Wednesday, Jan. 12, which is a MCPS half-day off from school.
“One of our priorities is to ensure that all young people have equitable opportunities and access to safe, affordable recreation programs,” said MCR Division Chief Adriane Clutter. “Kids Day Out is better because of our strong partnership with Montgomery County Public Schools. We will continue working together to grow and enhance the program.”
