Full-Day Program

Full-day programs are offered from 5:45 a.m.-6 p.m. during school vacations, teacher training days, and waiver days. Children in the before-school, after-school, and before- and after-school programs are guaranteed a space in all full-day program days as part of their monthly fee. The same type of activity choices as afternoon programming are available, along with field trips and various additional activities.

Youth Sponsorship

Youth sponsorship helps relocate youth to become familiar with their new home at Fort Riley. Our school-age centers provide a sponsor or welcome packet for family members in kindergarten through 5th grade who attend one of our school-age centers. The school-age centers also contact all school-age children requesting sponsors to ease their transition. Sponsors are matched to youth according to their gender, age, and interests.
