Our Programs

For ten years we have empowered kids, families, and educators with opportunities to develop a deeper connection to their unique learning process through the arts. We have three signature programs running in schools and after school that support TK-8 grade learners. We also have a series of custom collaborations with various non-profits, school districts, and learning centers providing professional development, consulting, and therapeutic play groups. Alongside our work in community arts, we've also supported families and organizations in the neurodivergent space for over a decade.

 

Research shows that our basic human need for connection drives much of our behavior and influences our sense of identity. By infusing our lives with access to creative play embedded in opportunities for structured skill development, we increase an individual's motivation, agency, resilience, awareness, growth mindset and sense of well-being. We're on a mission to ensure that more children, educators, and families get access to these important tools ultimately creating a more just, equitable, and hopeful future for all.
