KNOWLEDGE

Grow their creative confidence

Each creative activity prompt is an opportunity for your daugther to embrace a new challenge. Through hands-on learning, your child is more likely to remain engaged and to build upon their creative problem-solving skills.

RESOURCES

Activities you can work on together

While our programs encourage your daughters to become better independent learners, we’ve also included special opportunities for you to work together.

WELLNESS

Practices to ensure their well-being.

Your daughters will learn the importance of self-love and self-care through our programming. Young women learn how to manage emotions, team-building activities, and how to become more vulnerable.

All tween activities require adult supervision. Programs are for Tweens (11–12) & Teens (13-18).
