Chandler Unified highlights Community Education: Kids Express, summer academy and preschools say enrollment rebounding
Summary
District leaders reported steady demand for before‑and‑after care, summer learning and preschool programs, but said a $6 million stabilization grant that temporarily boosted participation has expired.
Scott Vandermillan, director of community education for Chandler Unified School District, told the board on March 26 that the department operates five divisions — Summer Academy, sports and enrichment, facility rentals, early childhood education and Kids Express before‑and‑after care — and serves thousands of local families.
Vandermillan said Kids Express operates at 26 elementary campuses and covers kindergarten through sixth grade, with hours generally from 6:30 a.m. to 6 p.m., and that the department recently ran intersession camps that enrolled 506 children and took them to the Phoenix Zoo. He said registration figures vary day to day and that combined registrations for Club CUSD, enrichment and the Chandler Sports League totaled 4,802 since Jan. 1.
