About our Charity

Founded: 1999
Kids learn through hands-on, sensory experiences. They take their early childhood experiences and foundation of skills and apply them throughout the rest of their adult lives.

A local charter school in the Phoenix area is hoping to accomplish this idea by creating an arts and sciences complex on their campus, but lack the funding to move forward.

Once this building is operable it will train elementary school kids how to properly care for animals and learn the early primer for becoming a veterinarian.

Children will be required to be responsible, complete their assignments, and learn about animals from all over the world through these encounters.

Children will learn the cycle of life as well as how to recreate their experiences from this science center in a dedicated art building.

Through this cross-interdisciplinary curriculum, this school hopes to create future scientists and instill inspiration and art in their early lives that will enhance their outlook on life.

This project has the potential to teach both children and adults, environmental respect, geography, art, hands-on science, observation and recording skills, research, English writing through information gathering on a live subject, life skills, job skills, food preparation and nutrition, applicable to humans, study skills, organizational skills, minor medical procedures, behavior (Psychology), Sociology, Economics, sensitivity to life, newborns through geriatrics, responsibility and commitment, and much more.

It's a project that awes children and draws them into learning, whether gifted or special ed., helping them overcome difficulties or find challenge in their school environment.

It will reach many other children through field trips and teacher training.
