Kidz Express closed our physical center on Monday March 16, 2020 until further notice due to the Coronavirus pandemic. We believe this step is necessary to protect our kidz, their families, and our staff.
Our mentors are working to retain our tight community with our kidz and families through phone and online activities. We are also partnering with community organizations and volunteers to explore ways to provide food, essential items and tutoring in safe and effective ways.

Our staff, most of whom are Kidz Express alumni now enrolled in college, provide a nurturing environment where our Kidz see the actual positive outcomes from making good choices in life.
