Before and After School Care
The Boys & Girls Club of South Central Kansas (BGCSCK), an official district partner organization, offers before- and after-school services to participating Maize USD 266 students.
To participate in the before- and/or after-school program, you will begin by purchasing an annual $50 Membership, per child. This fee can be covered via state insurance (Healthy Blue, Sunflower, and United) and you will find these instructions while completing the enrollment process. Once you purchase a membership, parents then will need to purchase a program registration(s). Costs for each program can be found in the table below.

The affordable programming is designed in many ways to be an extension of the school day for participants and to help parents looking for before- and/or after-school supervision, educational/enrichment support, and/or social activities for their child(ren).
Before- and after-school programs will be available for all elementary school children at the following locations:
- Maize Elementary School (also including Vermillion Elementary School students)
- Maize Central Elementary School
- Maize South Elementary School
- Pray-Woodman Elementary School
The Boys & Girls Club of South Central Kansas will continue to provide after-school programs at the following locations:
- Maize Intermediate School
- Maize South Intermediate School
The before-school program will run from 6:30 a.m. until the start of the school day. The after-school program will run from the end of the school day until 6 p.m.
Please keep in mind that students not participating in before-school programming cannot enter into schools until between 8:15 a.m. and 8:30 a.m., depending on the elementary school. Students may enter the building only five to 10 minutes before the first bell, which sounds 10 minutes before the school day.
For the Boys & Girls Clubs program, there will be limited capacity per location.

About the program
- Activities: A variety of offerings, include homework help, open gym time, outdoor play on courts and turf, STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) activities, social recreation, and arts.
- Transportation to and/or home from the program will not be provided. Students may walk home, bike home, or be picked up. Parents who wish to establish specific instructions about how their child can leave and/or who can pick them up are encouraged to do so.
- Participation/attendance: Participating students are welcome to come frequently, sporadically, or whatever works best for them and their family’s schedule. Once participating families have registered, paid, and completed an orientation, families are not required to provide advanced notice about which day(s) their child(ren) will attend. Students who are registered are welcome to come any program day and stay as long as they would like to stay until 6 p.m. Students who attend will be logged in and out so program employees have a record of attendance. Students may only participate in before- and/or after-school services at the school site at which they are registered for the academic day.
- Staff members: The program will be staffed by Boys & Girls Clubs employees, and there are opportunities for Maize USD 266 employees to work for the program, too, so their child(ren) may see familiar faces and/or educators they already know.
