Bar-T is Maryland’s premier childcare provider. We provide enriching before and after school care for children across our 35 programs that serve both Montgomery and Frederick County. We offer Pre-Kindergarten classes for 3 and 4 year olds in 3 additional locations and our newest programs provide infant through school-age care at our program at Thurgood Marshall Elementary.

We can’t wait for you to join our family and experience all that Bar-T has to offer.

Kids Club: Before and After School Programs

Kindergarten through 5th Grade

We strongly believe that children need to have choices, and we provide a variety of opportunities for children each day. At Bar-T Kids Club, we allow our children to choose which clubs, games, and special events they would most enjoy. With 36 locations across Montgomery and Frederick Counties, we offer exceptional programming at locations convenient for families.

My favorite part of the Bar-T program is the staff (people)! They are kind, professional, courteous, and dedicated.

I love the diversity of the staff at Bar-T. I love our Bar-T experience because it is consistently great.

The programming seems like so much fun. Everything from their “clubs” to Arts to Cooking to STEM programming is excellent and more than just watching children after school.
