The Company

Children's Comprehensive Services <% if gsSubBrand = "aolsnapshot" then Response.Write("(Nasdaq: KIDS)") else Response.Write("(Nasdaq: KIDS)") end if %>, while not in the business of building prisons per se, provides education and treatment services for "at-risk" and troubled youth. The sub-segment of the private corrections market that deals with troubled teens spends $32 billion each year on special education programs and $5.7 billion on juvenile incarceration. KIDS is well positioned in this market with over 18 years of experience in providing services at a low cost to both public schools and government agencies. KIDS steps in where these agencies leave off, providing both residential and non-residential settings for emotionally disturbed, behaviorally disordered, and learning disabled youth.
