Description: The Kid Zone Enrichment Program is a dynamic community response to changing lifestyles and needs of families in Tempe, Arizona. Our goal is to address the increased number of children needing a safe, enriching place to be in out-of-school time. Kid Zone operates both before and after school programs at 19 Tempe and Kyrene Schools. Our program is for children in the grades K-5 at 15 of our schools and K-8 at 3 of our schools (Curry, Rover, Ward). We also offer a Pre-School Program for 2 year olds - Pre-K's.
Where possible, ChildcareCenter provides inspection reports as a service to families. This information is deemed reliable, but is not guaranteed. We encourage families to contact the daycare provider directly with any questions or concerns, as the provider may have already addressed some or all issues. Reports can also be verified with your local daycare licensing office.
