How has school started for you? We're getting SHARE Kids' Care rolling and would love to have you. Kids get outside and spend time with a variety of animals. We play games, laugh, learn, and grow.
Your monthly tuition sponsors a SHARE rescue animal of your child’s choosing! Your child will help with chores to take care of their animal while they are at after-care and we will even spend time reading to our animals each week. We’re growing responsible, life-long learners. That monthly tuition is also tax-deductible.
Buses bring kids to SHARE from Shawboro and Central Elementary. We are adding a van bringing kids from Grandy Primary once we have 5 kiddos signed up.
Sign up for SHARE Kids’ Care, nature based after-school care that gives back.

Janessa Lockwood, the President of Southern Hope Animal Rescue & Education, has almost 30 years of experience in the equine industry. Growing up with horses fueled her passion for all animals and eventually piqued her interest in vet med and finally to the need for rescue. She founded Southern Hope Animal Rescue in 2014 and has rehabilitated and rehomed hundreds of animals of all different species with the help of our community and amazing volunteers. Her focus for the rescue has shifted to helping slaughter bound equines rehabilitate and find forever homes, but she also works with local shelters and animal controls with the placement of farm animals and companion animals of all kinds. She believes education is the only way to end cruelty, neglect, and abandonment of animals.
Melissa Follin, the SHARE Kids’ Care Director, was born and raised in Virginia Beach, VA and comes from a family of educators. She now lives in Currituck County with her husband, daughters, parents, and many animals. She earned her bachelor’s degree in Early Childhood Education from James Madison University and then a master’s degree in Educational Leadership from Regent University. She has spent the past 19 years in the classroom as a teacher in 1st, 3rd, and 4th grades as well as a gifted resource teacher for grades K-5. As a Virginia Beach City Public School teacher she was named Teacher of the Year for the entire city, Gifted Teacher of the Year for the division and region, a Trailblazing Teacher by the Center for Green Schools, and earned a Presidential Award for Mathematics and Science Teaching established by the White House. Over the years she’s worked with environmental non-profits such as Oyster Reef Keepers of VA and Lynnhaven River NOW, helping children discover how they can get involved in the world around them and become stewards of the environment. She believes children learn best through authentic learning experiences that get them actively engaged in their world.
