KidsPark is a professionally staffed, state-licensed drop-in, hourly child care facility for infants and preschoolers in the Twin Cities. The mission of KidsPark is to provide infant and preschool children in the Twin Cities with a safe, nurturing, developmentally appropriate education and play environment, while providing their families with a professional, low-cost hourly childcare. The goal of KidsPark is to enhance the quality of life of families who only require childcare on an occasional or semi-regular basis both by delivering a quality experience to the children and increasing the sense of community for these participating families. KidsPark has served area families for twenty years. KidsPark is a program of the Macalester-Groveland Community Council and is run as a parent cooperative. KidsPark teachers are professionally licensed day care workers, and employees of the Macalester-Groveland Community Council. The parent co-operative is run by the KidsPark Parent Advisory Council ( KPAC ), a committee of the Macalester-Groveland Community Council made up of parent volunteers.
