C.U.S.D. #80 - Chandler Kids Express - Santan Elementary
Center in Chandler, AZ 85248
Kids Express is a program in which school-age children (typically ages 5 through 12), in kindergarten through 6th grade, are given an opportunity to choose from a variety of enrichment activities that meet their developmental needs and interests during out-of-school-time hours. Activities include science, computers, reading, homework, art, music, crafts, creative dramatic play, games, group projects, and curriculum clubs. Our programs are generally staffed according to the state requirements for children not younger than 5 years old. Four-year-olds who pass the exam for early entry into Kindergarten, and exhibit independent toileting habits, are eligible to attend. Parents of typical kindergartners who dont turn five by the first day of school, and/or early entry kindergartners, may be subject to a higher tuition rate as additional staffing is required for four-year-olds.
The Kids Express program is licensed and inspected by the Arizona Department of Health Services (DHS) and certified by the Department of Economic Security (DES). Facility inspection reports are available for public viewing at each site and at the Arizona Department of Health Services.
