What We Do.
We develop, build, deliver, implement, and support a variety of SEL, CASEL, Creative, and Fun activity programs to both schools and recreation programs of all sizes. Each of our programs offers a special set of goals and is guided by determined criteria.
​
We incorporate the latest in educational standards and best practices into each program design including those provided by the California Department of Education, CASEL, California After School Network, and the National Afterschool Association. We work with school districts to build programs that meet their LCAP (Local Control and Accountability Plan) priorities and expected school-wide learner outcomes.
​
Over the last 10 years, our programs have truly made a change in students' lives by opening their world to new ideas and possibilities. By empowering students today, we can ensure the leaders of tomorrow are filled with knowledge, empathy, compassion, kindness, and curiosity.
