We Believe:
We encourage learning and exploration that families can participate in together. Like NASA, we understand the significance the family's role can have on their child's education," role in helping children, "grow up and be successful at life." We agree that, "family involvement is one of the most overlooked aspects of American education," and that the purpose of it, "is to engage families as partners in the educational process."
- Learning can be a fun, engaging, and life long process.
- Learning does not only happen within the four walls of a classroom, but everywhere around us.
- Parents are a child's first and lifelong teachers.

"Overwhelming evidence from research suggests that when families get personally involved in education, children do better in school and grow up to be successful in life. Yet, family involvement is one of the most overlooked aspects of American education. Today, many programs are designed without recognition of the role of families, and consequently many families remain unaware of the significance that their role can have on their child’s education. Family involvement is an important component of NASA educational programs. The purpose of the family involvement component is to engage families as partners in the educational process." -NASA
