Starms Discovery Learning Center is grateful for the commitment of our community partners. Our school, staff, and students are continuously enriched by their ongoing gifts of time, services and resources, creativity and collaboration.

Arts @ Large

Arts @ Large is committed to providing equitable access to arts-centered education. Recognizing the impact the arts have on children’s ability to learn, Starms Discovery Learning Center offers many different opportunities for students to express themselves, including pottery, painting, sculpture, music, and dance. We even have our very own kiln!

Bader Philanthropies

Continuing Helen Daniels Bader’s passion for education, and family and child welfare, Bader Philanthropies provides Starms staff and students with reading and math content and support.

Children’s Wisconsin

Kids do their best work in the classroom and have the most fun at recess when they’re thriving physically, mentally, and emotionally. School nurses from Children’s Wisconsin help Starms staff improve students’ overall health by assessing their needs and finding ways to meet those needs by working with family members, medical providers, social workers, school support staff, and mental and behavioral health professionals. Contact the Starms DLC nurse at (414) 934-4920.

Milwaukee Wave

Through the America Scores Milwaukee partnership, Milwaukee Wave players donate their time to give our students opportunities for physical education and to develop and improve their soccer skills right here at Starms DLC.

Neighborhood House

Neighborhood House is a community center serving individuals and families at all stages of life, providing wrap-around services including early childhood care, after-school programs, family engagement in the educational process, and more.

Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources

The Wisconsin DNR helped our other green space partners design our outdoor gardens and install bioswales to manage stormwater and encourage our students to care for and enjoy the outdoors.
