Kidz Express will be closing 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.
We understand closing will have negative impacts on the youth and families we serve, but believe we must take this step to prevent the potential spread of the COVID-19 virus within our neighborhood.
Kidz Express understands this situation is going to get worse and put a lot of pressure on everyone in our community. We made the difficult decision to close based upon the recommendations of health experts. We will be monitoring the situation and will provide updates as the situation changes
