Our Story

IZONE was born from the vision of Mr. James F. Delaney, the passionate longtime principal of Delaney Elementary, for whom the school is named. His dream was simple yet powerful: to create an affordable, high-quality afterschool program designed specifically for Kennedale ISD students—one that truly felt like a second home.

A Program Built on Familiar Faces

Mr. Delaney believed children thrive best when they feel secure. That’s why he insisted students remain on their own campus, surrounded by teachers and staff they already know and trust. This continuity helps children transition seamlessly from the school day into afterschool care.

Every Child Deserves the Opportunity

To ensure no child is left behind, scholarships are available for families who need extra support. Mr. Delaney’s vision was rooted in the belief that every child should have access to safe, enriching, and inspiring care.

Trusted Educators, Enriching Experiences

From the beginning, only certified teachers and district staff were chosen to lead IZONE. These educators know each child’s strengths, learning styles, and individual needs. With their guidance, students receive:

Personalized homework support
Engaging enrichment activities that extend learning beyond the classroom
Structured, creative play that builds friendships and confidence

Carrying the Mission Forward

Today, IZONE continues to honor Mr. Delaney’s legacy. Our program combines academic support, creative exploration, and social growth—all within the familiar, caring environment of each child’s own campus.

At IZONE, your child isn’t just cared for—they’re valued, encouraged, and empowered every step of the way.
