Off-Site Kids Club at Poolesville Baptist Church

Our Bar-T Kids Club program is the largest private provider of before and after school programs for children in Montgomery and Frederick County. 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, sports leagues, and special events they would most enjoy.

Bar-T serves the Poolesville Elementary and Monocacy Elementary communities at our Kids Club at Poolesville Baptist Church. This program opens at 7:00am and our staff take the children to school on a Bar-T bus. We pick up the children at school in the afternoons and are open at Poolesville Baptist Church until 6:30pm.

Calendar

Bar-T Kids Club provides morning and afternoon care for families during the school year. We follow the public school systems’ calendars and are open for when school is closed for professional days, winter break, spring break, and most snow days. For our complete calendar, please view our Parent Handbook using the link below.

Hours

Bar-T Kids Clubs open Monday through Friday at 6:30am and remain open until school begins. Our afternoon program begins when school ends and we remain open until 6:30pm.

Customizable Schedule

Every Each family’s needs are unique, so we’ve designed our program to have a variety of options when it comes to the days and times you’d like your child to attend. From full time care where your child joins us every morning and afternoon to drop-in care when you need it, we’ve got you covered.

We understand that care for your child is a financial investment that families make and we do not take that lightly. Tuition is a topic that is routinely found on our leadership’s agenda and we have multiple meetings a year that are solely dedicated to discussing our rates and how we can provide affordable care at the high standard that we hold ourselves to. When you have an idea of which days and times you’ll need care, head on over to our tuition calculator to find your rate.

Inclement Weather

Bar-T follows the Montgomery County Public Schools (MCPS) Administrative Offices closing status. If MCPS Administrative Offices are closed or opening late, Bar-T will be closed or will open at the same time as Administrative Offices. If Montgomery County Public Schools are closed, but the Administrative offices are open, we will we open as soon as we are able to be in the building. You and your child’s safety, and our staff’s safety, are paramount in these situations.

If an evacuation of the school premises is necessary, we will call and inform parents that they, or an emergency contact, need to come pick up their child. Typical types of these evacuations are loss of heat or loss of power. We currently have several ways to notify parents and staff of any changes to our opening or closing status:

• We will immediately alert families via email and text message.
• We will immediately alert families via the Tadpoles messaging system.
• We will list our opening status on local news channels (FOX, NBC, CBS and ABC news).
• The Bar-T Kids Club Facebook page will be updated.
• The Bar-T website (www.Bar-T.com) will be updated.
• The outgoing phone message will be changed on our land line and cell phone to reflect our status.

No two days are alike at Bar-T as schedules vary daily and by program. Here’s a few sample activities that your child may participate in:

*Bar-T Poolesville provides bus transportation to/from this school every day. Families should register for Poolesville Kids Club.
