Really... What IS Kid's KoWork

We are a drop in program for children in grades 2 to 9 who are enrolled in online classes. This is the chance for you (YES! You, the parent or guardian) to leave your child with us and YOU can spend the day doing whatever you need to do (errands, appointments, meetings, eat a candy all afternoon while binging Netflix). Kid's KoWork is excited to help you and your kids make the most of their online school experience!

Your child will be assigned their own office to work out of all day. Shared sibling space is available at discounted rates (must be living in the same household). By having their own space, your child will NOT have to wear a mask while they are in their office

Hey! Meet Eric!He helped start Nurfageddon about a year ago because he loves NERF battles and bringing fun and smiles to everyone who comes here. When he is not at Nurfageddon, he volunteers at his church's Sunday School program, because kids are AWESOME! He is still working on his NERF Degree (and although it is not yet official), but we think it is safe to address him as Professor NERF.
