What We Stand For: Big Values for Little Hearts
-
Fun-loving
We do important work. In fact, it’s so important that we need to create joy while doing it.
We hold ourselves to the highest standard of fun. (Yes, you read that right.) There’s a lot competing for a child’s attention — and, therefore, our work is, and must be, fun. Seriously, fun.
-
Knowledge-seeking
We don’t know all of the answers. That’s why we work with theological and scholarly experts to grow.
We partner with qualified experts and institutions to advise our efforts related to Islamic sciences, educational pedagogy, and creative methodologies. Every day, we learn from our experiences and grow.
-
Kid-focused
The mind of a child is where change begins.
By the time a child is nine years of age, a significant portion of their life-long identity has been formed. Therefore, if we seek to raise children who build a better world, we must invest into early education.
-
Faith-forward
Islam is more than memorization. It is the path to solve our world's greatest challenges.
For some, to be Muslim is to pray. For us, that is just the beginning. Islam represents a path to solve our world’s greatest struggles — from global warming to racial inequity to moral decay.
-
Evidence-based
Our children deserve better than willy-nilly solutions. They need our best.
More so than a house or a career, children represent a family’s most valuable investment. We cannot place the success of our children’s Islamic upbringing into the hands of willy-nilly products. Rather, we utilize evidence-based solutions.
