Childcare

Adventure Club is the fee-based childcare program of Robbinsdale Area Schools. The program is available to all students in grades K-5, is conveniently located in each elementary school, offers flexible scheduling options, and is staffed by trained professionals who have a combination of education and experience.

Early Adventures is the full-day care with preschool component of Robbinsdale Area Schools. By combining high quality childcare with the district's preschool curriculum, this program offers an opportunity for students to prepare for Kindergarten in a safe, nurturing setting with adults who are especially trained to work with preschool students.

In addition, The Basement is the school-age before and after-school childcare program of Robbinsdale Area Schools serving middle school students in grades 6-8. Conveniently located in each middle school, The Basement is designed for middle school students as they grow into responsible teens.

These programs offer before and after-school care, and are available on regular school days.
