“Zia family focus center year 2025 zia family focus center had another productive year we offered a mix of innovative classes that challenged the students and inspired them to collaborate and create zffc believes in learning through doing. We are hands on be it gardening (hands in the dirt), cooking (hands in the dough), art making, sewing, music, yoga, woodworking we are using our bare hands to create by touch. This is a visual, tactile program we are using our bodies and brains to learn. We do not use electronic mediums (unless it is briefly and to visually illustrate and complement instruction). It is never the primary teaching medium. In fact, zffc staff can see that what the kids crave is collaborative interaction, hands on, body movement. Whenever we can, we go outside to observe, to play, to make use of zias amazing outdoor areas and our native plant oasis (created by zffc students and an ongoing project).
