Vegas Strong Academy for kids

The Vegas Strong Academy program provides a childcare option that offers recreational and cultural activities for kids as well as support for distance learning.

The City of Las Vegas has partnered with the Las Vegas-Clark County Library District this year to add additional Vegas Strong Academy locations for the community. The program provides the community a safe, caring and affordable childcare option that offers recreation and cultural activities with support for distance learning. The program will be provided Aug. 24, 2020, through the conclusion of the fall semester. Registration is available online at www.lasvegasnevada.gov/VegasStrongAcademy.

  There are ten sites at city facilities that include:

• Cimarron Rose Community Center, 5591 N. Cimarron Road

Space is limited due to social distancing and other safety guidelines mandated by the governor’s directives. Temperature checks, social distancing, hand washing and sanitizing protocols will be adhered to at Vegas Strong Academy locations. In addition, staff at the locations will be wearing face coverings. The cost for all academies is $20 per day per child, or $100 per week.

There is also a $20 registration fee, but families with multiple children can take advantage of a registration discount. Call 702.229.CARE (2273) for more details on the registration discount and financial aid opportunities.
