Fly over to “Kookamakaluka” for adventures with Dr. Patricia and her flock of feathery friends, where preschoolers 2 to 5 yrs. and their families will learn meaningful lessons about mindfulness, emotional wellness, nutrition, movement and much more in a warm, welcoming setting.  Dr. Patricia hosts this breakthrough series where through the help of playful puppets, colorful animation, interactive live action and fun music, children will discover how to become the very best version of themselves.  Dr. Patricia knows we all have what it takes to be healthy, strong and feel good inside, and she and her feathery friends can’t wait to help us SOAR! Who We are: Serving Kids Hope (SKH) is a nonprofit located in Orange County. SKH's mission is to promote healthy lifestyles in children, families, and communities by addressing medical, nutritional, social, economic, and behavioral issues in a comprehensive, compassionate, and empowering manner. We are driven to mitigate the long-term effects of obesity and Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) on the future health of all children with attention to those with racial barriers, those in poverty, and those with special needs. At SKH, we believe that every child deserves a healthy future. In a response to the pandemic’s detrimental impact on early learners, SKH has partnered with Dr. Riba’s Health Club, PBS SoCal, Alkarma TV, KLCS, and local school districts to create and disseminate Dr. Patricia’s Health Club: Being Healthy from A to Z (DrPHC).<img src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/51090624_1605815985213563_r.jpeg" alt="51090624_1605815985213563_r.jpeg" width="100%" media_type="3" /> Why We Need Your Help: When the pandemic hit, Dr. Patricia and her community-based team began reaching families through telemedicine. Telemedicine gave her an unprecedented window into her patients' lives, and a realistic look at gaps in resources for their needs. One recurrent theme was the inadequacies of At-Home Learning: especially for children who were early learners, English learners, special needs, and living in poverty. She and her team (with nearly 20 years of experience in treating and preventing nutrition-related issues including obesity) set out to develop At-Home Learning content for parents and schools with special-attention to include vital messaging to support children with obesity and ACE’s. This inspired the innovative program called, DrPHC.  DrPHC was created to fortify the foundation for early learners whose learning and health fundamentals had been disrupted by the Pandemic.  
<div>DrPHC has been passionately designed to nurture young children by: -inspiring health, mindfulness, good nutrition, exercise, play, sleep, family connectedness, and reading/literacy. -fostering social-emotional awareness  -promoting the development of healthy coping mechanisms, and a healthy relationship with food -curbing screen time We have already had the opportunity with PBS SoCal to air this content as public service announcements (PSAs) starting September 4, 2020, for roughly ten weeks.
