Giving Back

Part of our mission is to focus on and teach children character development at an early age. Throughout the year, our Heart Projects give back to children in need both locally and throughout the world. At BBMA, you will experience the impact we are making and—through the eyes of children—you will see the world in a whole new way.

Not only are diversity and inclusion the foundation of our curriculum values, but we also practice what we teach by making sure ALL team members have a voice and the opportunity to contribute ideas.
