Why PCK matters
PCK began when Marcy Rogers discovered that children had no where to go after school. What began as a group of just a few is now a full scale program serving an average of 90 children a day, sometimes more. 90% of the children who attend are from low income or working poor families.
In Payson there is no Y program, nor any Boys and Girls Club. There is only PCK as a year round program at no cost to those who attend.
PCK is truly a place for children to belong. MORE
Who we serve
Many children are from families that face a variety of challenges: single parent homes, a parent in prison, living with relatives, living in the domestic violence shelter, or homelessness to name a few.
This makes the services PCK provides even more crucial. PCK serves as a place where children develop friendships, feel safe, encounter adults who nurture and care about them and engage in interesting and fun activities. It is a program that helps children meet expectations of treating others kindly and striving to make good decisions.
Thanks to all our sponsors and supporters!
Back-to-School Backpack program is for children enrolled in the PCK program. At Christmas the children enjoy a party and receive presents.
After school
Payson Community Kids
After school activities are the heart of PCK as it serves the children in the Payson community. Activities include
free play, dance, Love On A Leash, board games, organized outside games, just to mention a few. Children get a snack on arrival and dinner before going home.
