My name is Leslie Hanson, and I am the founder of Equally Created. The creation of this organization is a culmination of my personal journey, shaped by both my education in early childhood development and my deep belief in the transformative power of inclusion. I have spent my life working with children, but I also became deeply aware of how trauma and the environments we grow up in can affect our ability to thrive as adults.

Through my experiences, I realized that there is a profound need to provide equal opportunities for all children, especially those who have been marginalized. Every child deserves to see their inherent worth and the beauty in others, regardless of differences. At Equally Created, we provide a space where children can appreciate the diversity around them and develop lasting friendships that help shape a more inclusive future.

Our mission is to create an environment where all children are seen, heard, and celebrated for who they are. We aim to nurture each child in a way that encourages their growth and ensures they are equipped to become the best version of themselves.
