Any student entering kindergarten through 8th-grade that is enrolled in a Peoria Unified school that hosts the KidZone program or buses to a KidZone program. 

You can register online. KidZone specific information can be found on the KidZone website. 

Our program runs Monday through Friday, 6 a.m. to the start of school for the AM program, and from school dismissal to 6 p.m. for the PM program, except on noted holidays/closures. Late fees are applied for late pick-ups.

KidZone is hosted on the following campuses - Canyon, Copperwood, Desert Valley, Foothills, Heritage, Marshall Ranch, and Sahuaro Ranch. Students from Pioneer are bused to attend KidZone at Foothills. Students at Kachina are bused to KidZone at Canyon.

If you plan to attend 5 days a week, both AM and PM, please select a “Consistent Contract”.

For all other schedules, please select a “Pick your Days Contract”.

If you are unsure and will need KidZone sporadically, you can choose a “Drop-In Contract”.

If your student needs after school care ONLY on Wednesdays, there is a specific/slightly higher rate as it is a longer afternoon. $22.00 for this one day.

Breakfast is provided for the before school program and snack is provided for the after-school program.

The cost of KidZone depends on the schedule that is chosen at time of registration and how many days per month the child will be in attendance. Please see our KidZone Fee chart on our website.  

Payments are due in monthly increments on the last day of every month for the upcoming month’s scheduled days. Ex: July 31^st for the month of August’s scheduled attendance. If a payment is late this could result in your child’s spot not being held. 

It is highly recommended that payments are completed online through your Eleyo account.

In-person payments are accepted during office hours at the Desert Valley KidZone office or at the Peoria Unified District office with debit/credit card, cash, check or money order.

KidZone monthly fees are due, in full, by the first of every month. If you are unable to pay the full fee amount each month by its due date, please contact your program facilitator. Your child’s contract will be maintained through the date for which you have made a payment. Any remaining dates will be removed, and you will need to submit a new contract.

No, it is not recommended that a child bring in any belongings as there will be plenty of things provided in each classroom for the child to do and play with. We do however recommend a water bottle.

All students that have registered with a home school of Pioneer or Kachina Elementary will be provided with free transportation to and from Foothills or Canyon KidZone.

No other transportation is provided.

Yes, changes can be made in your account through the online system by selecting your child’s current contract then selecting the option “Change Schedule”.

All changes must be submitted one week prior to the beginning of each month. Once you have been invoiced for a month, changes cannot be made for that month.

No refunds are provided for days missed unless a two-week advanced notice is given. We make staffing arrangements and provide materials based on expected enrollment; therefore, refunds are not provided.

If your child is unable to physically attend school on campus, for any reason, they are not eligible to attend KidZone after school. This includes illnesses, personal days, off-campus suspensions, or days spend at the FBI.

No. It is our policy that someone at least 18 years old signs the children out. In addition, they must be listed on the Emergency Blue Card.
