From unexpected injuries to ongoing treatment for severe illnesses, even a brief hospitalization can cause a child to miss school, impacting their overall mental health and educational development - but Starlight Education can help.
Starlight Education provides support for pediatric patients in multiple ways:
Starlight School Supplies: Helps equip hospitalized kids with items such as backpacks, pens, and notebooks, and offers them a sense of security by having the essential supplies needed for school.
Interactive Starlight Gowns: Our latest Starlight Hospital Gowns include scannable QR codes that link to educational content and games, each offering a unique learning experience for hospitalized kids.
Online STEAM Coaching: Offers children group lessons that encourage curiosity and promote creative solutions to real-world problems focused on Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math (STEAM).
“[Zoe] is so used to things being canceled or postponed due to hospital stays and I truly thought there was no way we could do a cooking class while inpatient in the hospital, but boy was I mistaken.”
- Starlight Kid Zoe's Mom, Lacey
Every kid deserves the opportunity to learn. While we can’t change a child’s diagnosis or situation, we can provide the tools and resources to help them through their challenges. But we need donors like you to do this important work.
