As much as we want children to have fun, to be carefree and happy, we also want them to develop into curious and critical thinking people, to open their minds to new ideas, and have outlets with which to express themselves. ToucanBox is built to be such an outlet, with every process, project, and policy designed to support a philosophy of empowerment, both intellectual and emotional, for children and for parents.
