Who We Serve
KDOW proudly serves children ages 0 to 18 in public and private schools, early learning and daycare programs, and local YMCAs. We accept Medicaid, private pay insurance, and offer a sliding fee scale for those who qualify. No child will be turned away due to an inability to pay for care.
