Empowering kids through hands-on learning in health and science
Free workshops and take-home kits that help children understand how their bodies work.
What We Do
Care4KidsNow empowers children from all backgrounds to explore health, science, and medicine through free, hands-on educational experiences. Using interactive workshops, Play-Doh organ-system kits, and child-friendly educational materials, we make learning about the human body engaging, accessible, and fun. Our programs encourage curiosity, build confidence, and inspire the next generation of scientists, healthcare professionals, and lifelong learners.
Meet the Founder
I’m Kamila Lickunas, founder of Care4KidsNow. I started this initiative with a question: Why does learning about the human body often feel confusing or intimidating when it can also be creative, visual, and fun?
That question became personal after I navigated medical challenges of my own. Being a patient changed the way I thought about health knowledge. I began to understand how much confidence can come from knowing what is happening inside your body and how many children do not have access to information that is clear, age-appropriate, and easy to remember.
I wanted to create the kind of learning experience I would have valued when I was younger. Founded in 2024, Care4KidsNow began with homemade materials and a single hands-on workshop. Today, I work with a student-led team and chapters across four states to bring health and science education to children through building, play, and conversation.
One of our signature activities is the Play-Doh organ-system kit, which allows children to construct and explore the body piece by piece. I also design illustrated pamphlets that explain health concepts in simple, welcoming language. We often connect our lessons to seasons and holidays, transforming topics that might initially seem complicated into experiences children can touch, question, and enjoy.
Through Care4KidsNow, I hope to do more than introduce children to health, science, and medicine. I want them to leave each workshop feeling more curious about their bodies, more confident asking questions, and more capable of understanding the science that affects their lives.
What began as a single idea has grown through every child, volunteer, and community partner who has joined us. We are continuing to learn, build, and expand so that more children can discover confidence, curiosity, and excitement in science, health, and medicine.
