Making life better for Johnson County Families.

Friends of Infant Toddler Services (FITS) develops, maintains and funds additional services and programs for children served by Infant Toddler Services of Kansas serving Johnson County (ITSJC). We are funded through private donations, fundraising events – such as the Annual Fall Ball Gala and Tee Off Fore Tots Golf Tournament– and through various grants.

FITS is governed by a volunteer Board of Directors. Our mission is to offer extra services and programs for ITSJC children, improve the support provided, and deliver crucial assistance to children and their families during emergencies or urgent situations.​
