CHILDREN AT RISK is excited to welcome Kim Kofron as our new Director of Early Childhood Education!
“We are very excited to have Kim join our team, because of her vast experience in Early Childhood Education,” said Dr. Bob Sanborn, president and CEO of CHILDREN AT RISK. “Kim’s expertise and knowledge will bode well as we help to build quality early childhood systems in Texas.”
