elcome back to the Desert Kids Directory! Thank you all for being patient during our short period of readjustment.

For all you loyal readers who have stuck with the Desert Kid’s Directory for last 9 years, you will find an increasing number of businesses and services advertising with us over the next few months.

We are also ramping up our distribution considerably to make it easier than ever to find the DKD in your neighborhood! For our new and loyal advertisers, you will be pleasantly surprised to see our ad prices are lower than ever! Now that we have transitioned into a bi-monthly format, we can be more flexible than ever with ad rates and campaigns.

Finally, a big thank you to the local parents and businesses for such an overwhelmingly positive response and welcome. I wouldn’t be doing this without you. I am proud and excited to be the new owner of DKD! I will do my best to carry on the tradition of providing parents, grandparents and children with the best resource guide in the Coachella Valley.
