Q: Is my child eligible to participate in Completely KIDS?

A: Completely KIDS serves children ages 4–14 at select partner elementary and middle schools across Omaha. Eligibility depends on both your child’s age and the school they attend. To see if Completely KIDS is offered at your child’s school, view our Program Locations here. If your child’s school is not listed, we do not currently offer programming there. We encourage you to contact your child’s principal to learn about other before- and after-school options and let them know you’d like to see Completely KIDS at your school. Family interest helps demonstrate community demand.

Q: How do I enroll my child in Completely KIDS’ before- or after-school program?

A: The quickest way to get started is to contact the Program Coordinator at your child’s school directly. You can find their contact information in our staff directory by searching for your child’s school. They can answer your questions and guide you through the enrollment process. You can also submit an inquiry through our Contact Us form, and we’ll connect you with the appropriate staff member.
