Program Details

Life-long skills. Taught in 10 lessons.

The magical journey of becoming a kindhearted kid begins with the adoption of a stuffed dog or cat. The pets immediately spark children's attention, capture their hearts, and positive life-long skills easily take root! 

Captures Heart

The Kindhearted Kids Program gives children the opportunity to practice and apply the core values of KINDNESS, RESPONSIBILILITY, RESPECT, EMPATHY, and CITIZENSHIP through the care of a stuffed dog or cat!

They fall in LOVE with their own pet and learning takes root.
