Reading and writing are just the beginning. Our curriculum builds healthy bodies, curious minds, and creative spirits — through gardening, nutrition, art, and social-emotional learning.
A child who learns to grow their own food, nourish their body, and name their feelings is ready for far more than first grade.
Education+ is what we call the extension activities woven into every classroom day. They turn a preschool into a launchpad for lifelong wellbeing.
Children plant, tend, and harvest in classroom gardens — learning where food comes from with their hands in the dirt.
Lessons that turn every snack into a teaching moment about food groups, hydration, and healthy choices.
Drawing, painting, music, and movement — the universal languages of curious minds.
Naming feelings, sharing, taking turns, and resolving conflict — the skills that hold a classroom together.
We teach children to grow vegetables, herbs, and native crops alongside the curriculum, planting skills they'll use for the rest of their lives.
Snack time isn't a break from learning — it's part of it. Our curriculum incorporates lessons about food groups, water, and the connection between eating well and feeling well.
Malnutrition is endemic in rural Guatemala, a problem LBR takes on firsthand. In partnership with the Mathile Foundation, every student in our program receives Chispuditos, a fortified nutritional supplement — vitamins, minerals, and protein delivered through atol, a local snack.
In-kind donation from a long-standing partner. 100% of the supplement reaches children at no cost to the program.
Your donation funds the curriculum, the materials, the meals, and the hands that bring it all together.
