I am a new foster parent in Overland Park. I will be getting an 8 year old girl this summer that I am fostering to adopt. I live in the Comanche school district and am in need of daycare this summer. It is tricky because I don't know when she will be arriving. I would like to find something in the area so she can start to make friends. I am looking for care that is well supervised and structured. I would appreciate any information on babysitters, day cares, anything!!!!!

What can I do next?

Call the school she will be attending and see who runs their after school program. Often they will have a summer care program as well. You may check with the OP Rec center. Also the YMCA and Johnson County Parks and Rec have summer programs or "camps" for kids. This link has alot of the summer camps going on in the KC area. http://www.kcparent.com/index.php?option=com_content&...
What's good about the camps at the Y and JoCo Parks and Rec is that they are usually enrolled in weekly increments so you can often sign your new daughter up when she arrives. Good luck!

My 8 year old son is going to summer camp through Johnson County Parks and Recreation. It's call Summer Escapades and its $85 per week. You can sign up for as many weeks as needed. Care is from 7am-5:30pm so it's ideal for working parents. They go on field trips everyweek and go swimming 2-3 times per week. I've only heard great things about it! Check out their website www.jcprd.com

Hope this helps :)
