Interested in sponsoring KITS in your community?
We work with pre-kindergarten providers and programs, K-12 schools, districts, and local education agencies, community agencies, and philanthropic organizations who want to promote the best outcomes for children, families, and educators.
Getting Started
The first step in starting your own KITS program is a consultation with us. We love to talk with potential new partners to get to know the particular needs of your children and families. We can help you determine which of our programs might be the best fit and we can estimate costs, depending on which particular program you want to run and for how many students and/or families. We will also discuss your needs for support with hiring, recruitment, and other logistics. This initial consultation will help us to tailor your implementation so that you will have a successful and sustainable KITS program!
