Did you know that Fox C-6 has a variety of childcare programs for families in the district to take advantage of? Our Character Kids Club (CKC) is a wonderful resource for families with students in school to use as childcare, both before and after school. During the summer, we have the CKC Summer Camp, which is four weeks of fun and learning.

At Building Blocks, we focus on kindergarten readiness by providing a nurturing and engaging environment where children can explore, grow, and succeed with HighScope Curriculum, a DESE-approved early childhood framework designed to foster independence, confidence, and active learning. Through hands-on experiences, children develop key skills in literacy, social interaction, problem-solving, and creative expression. We also incorporate:

Fundations – Teaching letter-sound associations and letter formation.
Heggerty – Building pre-reading and phonemic awareness skills.
