We Create Heart is closing for now. It has been an honor to serve our community. Due to lack of funding, we can no longer keep up with the project.

Enchanted Planet will live in perpetuity on YouTube, and we are so thrilled with the work we did as a team!

Thanks for believing in this project and the wellbeing of our community of children. We couldn't have created such magic during such dark times without each person who helped!

We are celebrating the wins and are so grateful for your trust and the opportunity to serve you all!

If funding becomes available again, we are all eager and excited to create more educational content. You haven't seen the last of us yet. :)

From Animals Get Funky to We Create Heart, a CNDC Project

There is a large percentage of children who are suffering from depression, obesity, anxiety, bullying, developmental issues and more.

Our creative arts programs playfully enhance healthy brain-body development using evidence-based innovations that support all types of learners’ social, emotional, physical, and cognitive needs.

We love helping families thrive through dance parties, creative arts camps, puppet play shops, curriculum development, and live events.

It feels important to find positive ways to interact with our youth while offering healthy and creative options. We love what we do!
