Matrix Kids Cards and Gateway Park Early Learning Center: A Heartfelt Journey from Move with Us to Thriving Together

Tippecanoe County, Indiana — It started as a dream, a leap, and, let’s be honest, a bit of a “what if.” Matrix Kids Cards Publishing is thrilled to announce our new partnership with Gateway Park Early Learning Center, creating a spark of creativity and literacy right here in Tippecanoe. What began as our “MOVE WITH US” initiative, inspired by the passion of Hunter (a Tippecanoe native and proud creator of the first Matrix Card), has grown from small beginnings to touch hearts around the globe. And now, as we join hands with Gateway Park, we’re taking another big step toward bringing learning adventures to the youngest dreamers in our own community.

A Partnership of Play, Promise, and Progress

Matrix Kids Cards is honored to work with Gateway Park to bring educational resources that are anything but typical. Think whimsical, story-filled, curiosity-sparking cards designed to be a child’s passport to the world of imagination. From adorable creatures with big dreams to tiny adventures with giant possibilities, Matrix Cards are all about making learning fun and interactive.

This partnership celebrates all those little wins that make learning a joyful journey. Over the past few weeks, we’ve already seen more than 150 preschoolers light up as they created stories, characters, and plots that rival Hollywood. We’ve seen an 80% jump in participation and a whole lot more giggles and gasps.

Gateway Park’s Director, [Director’s Name], shared, “It’s amazing to see children explore reading and storytelling in a way that feels so natural to them. Matrix Kids Cards have quickly become our favorite way to teach literacy!”

A Heartfelt Invitation to the Community

We’re not stopping here! With Gateway Park as our newest partner, we’re now inviting more institutions, libraries, and community centers in Tippecanoe and beyond to join the adventure. Whether you’re an early learning center, a local library, or a community center with a passion for making a difference, there’s a place for you in the Matrix Kids family.

To make it easy (and fun), we offer:

• Flexible Partnership Options: From zero-down trials to revenue sharing, we believe that every organization deserves the freedom to grow with us at their own pace.
• Customized Training and Support: Because the last thing we want is to leave you scratching your head, we offer full training and even throw in a few helpful pointers from Hunter’s own journey.

And for those who aren’t sure where to start, let’s just say there’s no such thing as “too small” or “too simple” with Matrix Kids Cards. Just a love for learning.

Thank You to Our Tippecanoe Family and Friends

It’s been quite the journey—from Hunter’s very first card here in Tippecanoe to sending boxes of Matrix Cards to new friends in Southern France, and every little (and sometimes very big!) step in between. To every teacher, parent, and community member who’s helped us along the way: you’ve shown us that dreams spread best when we share them.

Join Us—Let’s Grow Together!
Let’s keep bringing the joy of learning to every corner of Tippecanoe. Whether you’re nearby or far away, there’s always a place at our table. Institutions interested in partnering with Matrix Kids Cards can reach out to us for more information:

Born from a child’s dream and built by a community’s heart, Matrix Kids Cards Publishing is dedicated to making learning an adventure.
