Program accomplishments

  • Let the Kids Explore assisted with homeschool support and provided low cost and free activities while supporting local small ramona businesses and nonprofits. In 2025, Let the Kids Explore accomplished this by supporting run clubs and expanding our run club programs to Escondido to provide a Charter PE option. We also sponsored several programs that helped support local families like sponsoring a cooking class in July at no cost to families. We offered free get-togethers like our glow activities, and enrichment meet ups. These events were free for families and supplies were provided by Let the Kids Explore. In December 2025, we received the Joel Anderson nonprofit award.
