We are proud and excited to welcome SILVER SPONSOR Multicultural Kids!

Multicultural Kids

Multicultural Kids is owned and operated by two sisters with a passion – Lynne and Suzee. Our passion is for children and introducing them to the many amazing cultures of our earth. Our passion is also for children to understand and engage with children that have different abilities, or to embrace their life as it is if they have challenges that most other children don’t. We are both moms of multi-racial children, and want to expose them to the beauties of all cultures. We want to give them a rich palette of experiences and knowledge to draw on throughout their lives; and we want that for as many children as possible.
