Ask any local kid what is the happiest, funnest place to play in Kerrville, and most would say Up-n Jacks! We have just celebrated our second anniversary; and now, Up-n Jacks is expanding. This three phase process has already started, and boy are we "hoppy" about it!
Between the birthday parties and our bi-monthly teen night, Saturday is our busiest day of the week. During the school year; the number of children that visit on weekdays is minimal, and we intend to change that. We have all this FUN space, and we want it used to it's fullest potential every day. That is why we are branching out.
Phase I is the start of children's day camps. For 8 weeks during the summer, kids the age of 5 &10 can sign up for a day filled with open play, games, arts & crafts, and a movie. Campers can come just half day, or a week at a time. Day camps will also be offerred during winter break and spring break. Our goal is to meet the needs of most working families in this community.
Phase II is the incorporation of after school care that begins when students return for the 2009-2010 school year. Students will get daily help with homework, eat a snack, and play while waiting for parents to pick them up.
Phase III has the greatest impact and intends to satisfy a huge need for Kerrville. Our goal is by 2010, to have a state licensed child care center for preschool age children. No more tears and holding mom's leg at the door of the day care. What child would not want to stay and play at Up-n Jacks while mom and dad are off working?
Other treats recently added include an arcade area, and a mascot. Jack the Jumpin Frog loves coming to birthday parties; and you never know when he might decide to jump or slide with the party guests.
Let the excitement build and spread; Up-n Jacks has bounced it's way into Kerrville, and we are ready to play!
