🌿 Honoring Parents — The Heart of Ocean State Kids 🌿

As we put the finishing touches on our Annual Report, we want to take a moment to celebrate the parents who make it all possible. 💛

Parents are the backbone of Ocean State Kids—investing their time, energy, and resources to create a childhood filled with wonder, exploration, and connection. 

Thanks to 100 dedicated families across Rhode Island, collectivity, they all contributed $24,000 to keep our outdoor programs thriving through all four seasons.

Ocean State Kids is committed to protecting childhood—creating a space where kids can learn, play, and grow free from rigid rules, assessments, and societal pressures. We empower parents with the tools to connect meaningfully with their children, fostering a lifelong love for nature and discovery. Worth, every, penny.

📖 What’s Next?

Our 2024 Annual Report will soon be live on our website, highlighting this year’s achievements and unveiling our vision for 2025. We’d love to hear from you! If you have ideas on how Ocean State Kids can continue to grow as Rhode Island’s leading resource for parent-led outdoor learning, please email marial@oceanstatekids.com.

Together, we’re building a future where childhood is protected, play is prioritized, and families feel empowered. 🌱✨
