Board of Directors

Our board is a well-versed group of leaders, educators, and community members who are dedicated to ensuring every child, regardless of circumstances at birth, has the ability to reach his or her full potential. At Kids’ Corps, we have provided comprehensive Head Start child development programs for at-risk children and their families since 1990. We work with families and our community to address every challenge to school readiness a child may face. Our services include health and developmental screenings, nutritious meals, referrals to community resources and a high-quality preschool program that nurtures each child’s cognitive, physical and social/emotional development. If you desire to make a real difference through board service apply today.
