Ocean State Kids is a nonprofit organization focused on creating outdoor educational programs for young children in Newport County. We believe that nature is the best classroom and we strive to create learning experiences to foster a deeper connection to the earth. Our programs are designed to spark creativity and inspire all children to have a lifelong love for the outdoors.  Ocean State Kids has become a vibrant community of like-minded families who share a passion for outdoor learning, imaginative play, and allowing our children to be the next generation of young explorers, imaginative dreamers and stewards of the earth.

The Four Hearts Foundation has become a trusted organization in the Town of Portsmouth, best known for their efforts in building the new Turnpike Ave Playground. The Four Hearts Foundation believe that for able bodied children there is no greater gift than to teach them acceptance, understanding and have an environment that fosters these teachings and life long lessons. We believe that for handicap children there is no greater gift than this same environment. One where they feel their needs have not only been considered, but executed. A place where they can play with their peers of all abilities. Play is so important for the growth of children socially, emotionally and physically.
