Our club had a great time volunteering at an incredible birth-kindergarten school at the UW at their annual CARNIVAL NIGHT!  Players, coaches, and parents helped set up, serve food, interact with families and children, ran carnival booths, and cleaned up. Lots of fun was had by all!

The Haring Center puts its innovative inclusion programs into practice in the classrooms of the Experimental Education Unit (EEU). The EEU provides positive, inclusive, educational experiences for children with diverse abilities to learn in a setting that enhances their strengths and supports the needs of every child. Throughout the school, children with and without disabilities learn side-by-side, enriching the education of both the children with special needs and their typically developing peers. Programs are designed to provide children with the opportunity to build friendships through participating in a classroom community: the EEU is a place where ability does not stand in the way of children making friends and enjoying school.
