Covina-Valley Unified School District's Extended Day Child Care Program Kids' Korner offers a unique child care solution for students in grades K-5. Flexible scheduling provides before and after school care, as well as full-time or part-time support. The fee structure is competitive, and is designed to accommodate families with two or more siblings in the program.
