Bar-t

Our Bar-T Kids Club program is the largest private provider of before and after school programs for children in Montgomery County. We strongly believe that children need to have choices, and we provide a variety of opportunities for children each day. At Bar-T Kids Club, we allow our children to choose which clubs, games, sports leagues, and special events they would most enjoy.


Bar-T first welcomed kids and their families into the Bar-T Ranch Summer Camp in 1961 and we are proud of the positive impact that we have had on generations of area families over the last 50 plus years. Today, Bar-T has expanded well beyond the grounds of the Ranch Summer Camp to provide area families, individuals and businesses with unique experiences by offering the very best in after-school childcare, summer day camps, outdoor education, corporate team building and events.

Our mission, our philosophy and the Bar-T culture all guide our staff to respect each of the kids and adults that participates in our programs as individuals, working to provide meaningful choices throughout all aspects of our programs. We go beyond creating environments that help to ensure both physical and emotional safety by listening, showing respect and helping each member of our community remember that they are of great worth.

Bar-T Kids Club began in the Fall of 1985 when one of the Ranch's neighboring elementary schools reached out in search of a new approach to before & after school care. Bar-T's owners, Joe and Nancy Richardson, accepted the challenge and quickly created an environment in which the children could participate in activities that were fun, educational and enriching. They didn't want anyone to feel sorry for children who needed to attend an after-school program. Instead, they worked on designing a program that was more club-like during the off school hours and one that children looked forward to joining.
