We appreciated the opportunity to connect with foster parents at the DFS Foster Parent Conference and share resources on our UGrad Academy and other Kind to Kids programs supporting children and youth in foster care across Delaware. 💙

Foster parents provide children with care, stability, encouragement, and everyday support that helps them grow and succeed - and we’re grateful to stand alongside them!

Some children in foster care carry more than backpacks into school each day. They carry uncertainty, loss, and constant change.

What helps children succeed is having caring adults who continue showing up - helping them stay connected to school, supported, encouraged, and on track.

Kind to Kids Foundation’s UGrad Academy provides educational support, advocacy, and one-on-one tutoring to help children in foster care build brighter futures through learning, stability, and care.

For 15 years, we have helped children move forward with confidence, support, and hope. 💛

This spring, University of Delaware nursing students completed a community health rotation with Kind to Kids Foundation - helping future healthcare professionals better understand the educational and wellbeing challenges affecting children in foster care.
Children in foster care often experience significant health, emotional, and educational challenges connected to trauma, instability, and disrupted support systems. These nursing students did more than complete clinical hours. They gained firsthand understanding of the barriers many children face and the importance of steady, trauma-informed care.
Kind to Kids Foundation’s UGrad Academy combines educational advocacy, one-on-one support, and consistent relationships to help students in foster care succeed in school and life. The program has been independently evaluated by Cornell University using Delaware Department of Education data, with students achieving a 97% high school graduation rate and a 98% grade promotion rate.
Thank you to Speaker of the House Rep. Melissa Minor-Brown for championing this partnership and to the University of Delaware College of Nursing for investing in community health education that prepares future professionals to better serve vulnerable children, youth, and families.
Kind to Kids Foundation works at the intersection of education, health, and child welfare. Partnerships like this strengthen all three.

Today we’re recognizing teachers across Delaware who make a measurable difference for students in foster care. With their partnership, 97% of UGrad students graduate high school, 98% are promoted, and core academic grades improve by around 10%, based on independent evaluation using state education data. We’re grateful for the role you play in helping students move forward.

A child entering foster care may be scared, full of questions about what comes next.

My Blue Duffel is ready for that moment.

Each new bag is packed with warm, comforting items: a teddy bear, a fleece blanket, fluffy socks, a toothbrush, a helpful book that offers hope, a coloring book, crayons, and a journal.

That is the heart of My Blue Duffel. Care packed before a child needs it.

To everyone who gives, thank you. A child may never know your name. They will still receive your care.

There are moments you don’t always see from the outside.

A student sits down, opens their work, receives encouragement, and stays with it.
They ask a question they might have kept to themselves.
They begin to believe they can do it.

This is what we work toward.
This is where real progress begins.

It’s a warm day. Kids are outside. Life looks the same.
For some children, today changes everything.

They leave home quickly. Often with little or nothing.

This is what meets them next.

A duffel filled and ready.
A teddy bear to hold onto.
A soft fleece blanket.
A book that helps make sense of what they’re feeling.
A coloring book and crayons.
A journal.
Fuzzy socks.
Basic toiletries.

Not extras. What a child needs in that moment.

So they don’t have to wonder if anyone thought of them.
So they have something of their own.
So they feel it right away—they are cared for.

This is what we provide, every day, whenever a child enters foster care.

Help us keep every duffel ready when a child needs it.

Spring break can look different for the children we serve.

For some, it means a change in routine, a new placement, or uncertainty about what comes next.

This week, our team stayed connected - checking in, listening, and making sure each child felt seen and cared for - while helping them stay on track.

We don’t step back during breaks.
We make sure children stay engaged, supported, and moving forward.

Yesterday, children across Delaware gathered for an Easter egg hunt filled with laughter and moments that matter.

Children were smiling, active, and having fun - listening to a story, running across a sunny field, and filling their frosted Easter totes with colorful eggs in a space that felt easy and welcoming. It was meaningful for the children and families we serve to share in the day together.

Governor Matt Meyer and First Lady Lauren Meyer spent time with the children - sitting with them, reading a story, and celebrating alongside them. The care behind the day was clear.

Kind to Kids was proud to be there, together with the children and families we serve on a beautiful afternoon. , , ,

April is Child Abuse Prevention Month.
Kind to Kids was at Nemours connecting with families and staff, sharing educational materials and information about how we support children in foster care.

From a child’s first days in care through graduation, we stay alongside them—so they can feel safe, supported, and ready to learn.

Grateful to the Nemours team for their partnership and commitment to children.
