Program Description
Welcome to the Bardstown Educational Enrichment Program (BEEP). Our program is a Stars Accredited, state-licensed wrap-around child care program which is operated by Bardstown City Schools. Our program offers a safe environment with trained staff who provide supervision and organized activities for pre-school through 12-years-old.
The 3-and 4-year old pre-school age, Kindergarten, 1st and 2nd grade child care program is located at 895 Pennsylvania Avenue. The elementary and middle school child care program is located at a convenient, on-campus site in the cafeteria of Bardstown Elementary School. This age group is temporarily being served at our 895 Pennsylvania location until the state of emergency has been lifted.
You are always welcome to stop in or call to check on your child anytime. In addition to providing adult supervision for your children, we will also provide a variety of age-appropriate activities and free choice of play, homework help, and relaxation opportunities. Some of our activities include arts/crafts, music, dramatic play, reading, science, blocks and tactile activities, group games, computer time, gym/playground/track, providing a balance of active and quiet play. Our schedule during extended school breaks includes many fun and interesting field trips such as movies, visiting local attractions, as well as trips to area attractions in the neighboring counties.
