💛 Our Mission: Bringing Light to Brave Days
When Joy Meets Heart, Healing Begins
Hey, I’m Jena!
I am the founder of Smile Station Learning, and someone who believes that even the smallest acts of kindness can spark the biggest smiles.
Smile Station Learning started as more than just a project. It grew from my time working with children facing medical challenges, especially at Sunrise Day Camp. I’ve seen how powerful joy, creativity, and connection can be for kids who are going through more than most people realize. Kids need an outlet, whether they’re too hot and overstimulated, or having an anxious breakdown, Smile Station is here to teach them how to regulate their emotions and learn how to control them. Whether it’s a silly coloring page, a kind message from another child, or a short video about how to deal with big feelings, this platform was made to brighten someone’s day.
Using what I’ve learned through leadership, education, and empathy, I created this space to bring emotional support, playful learning, and a reminder that no one is ever alone, even on their toughest days.
Smile Station Learning is here to help kids feel seen, supported, and most of all, to smile.
Let’s color, learn, and lift each other up, one smile at a time. ☀️
Inspired by Sunrise Day Camp, Smile Station Learning was created after watching brave kids face big challenges — from hospital stays to missed playdates. Many were still learning how to make friends, share feelings, or just be a kid again. This space was built to help them (and kids like them everywhere) feel seen, supported, and never alone. 💛
