Champions

Champions is proud to be part of the KinderCare Learning Companies family of brands. We employ the most up-to-date science about how children grow, learn, and develop to create purposeful and engaging learning experiences that unlock each child’s potential. Currently in Dubuque, we offer services to families before and after school in nine Dubuque Community Elementary Schools as well as school break and summer camp programs.

Families and teachers are at the heart of what we do. That’s why we develop warm, compassionate, and strong connections with every one of our families and focus on hiring and training the best early childhood educators in the business. We're always looking for people who bring the same passion and dedication to raising lifelong learners as we do. The Champions program serves children ages five through 12 years of age. Our school-age curriculum layers alongside your school’s program and includes project-based STEM learning activities, art, physical activity, homework support, and more.

Champions offers incomparable out-of-school programs

Champions partners with principals, teachers, and parents to create more than 600 before- and after-school and year-round learning environments that spark wonder in children. A member of the KinderCare Education family of brands, Champions is backed by the resources and expertise of one of the world’s largest education companies. KinderCare Education serves more than 186,000 children in 40 states, and Champions specifically serves more than 40,000 of those children in 21 states and Washington, D.C.

With more than 25 years of experience, Champions is recognized for our leadership in delivering extended learning programs that are tailored specifically to a school’s needs and that provide busy working parents with a safe, convenient program where their child’s potential is fostered through engaging learning experiences.
