CCC has been licensed by the state of Kansas since 1996. In October, 2000, we moved to a new location. We are  now conveniently  located in central Manhattan KS.  CCC is owned and operated by Chris Payne. He is a certified elementary teacher who has worked for USD 383 since graduating from KSU in 1994.

At the club, children are entertained and educated by numerous hands-on activities. Art, science, math, computers, literature and games, are all explored with enthusiasm.

The club is also home to approximately 25 pets. The children help care for the pets by doing different "jobs". Jobs are assigned based on the desire and ability of each child. They receive a weekly "paycheck", and can spend their "bogus bucks" in the club store. This teaches the children a great deal about animals, responsibility, and respect for other life. They also enjoy being able to earn and spend their own money!

Cool Care Club offers a great alternative child care experience. During the school year, we offer an after-school program and during summer break we offer a summer day camp program. Please see the links below for more information on each program.

Space is limited. Ask about the discount available for siblings.
