We are excited to announce the After School Mindfulness Program, offering children a special opportunity to deepen the mindfulness skills they began to explore over the summer. This program focuses on nurturing essential life skills such as self-awareness, emotional regulation, and focus, which are beneficial for success both in and outside the classroom.
Program Overview:
Starting on September 19, 2024, the program runs throughout the fall on Tuesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays. Children aged 5-15 are grouped into age-specific sessions, ensuring each activity is meaningful and developmentally appropriate.
Curriculum Highlights:
The curriculum includes a blend of interactive lessons and hands-on exercises that make mindfulness both accessible and enjoyable for young learners. Core elements include:
Mindful Movement: Through gentle yoga and movement activities, children strengthen their mind-body connection and cultivate a sense of physical and mental well-being.
Breathing Techniques: Kids learn simple breathing exercises to help them manage stress and increase their focus.
Emotional Intelligence: Guided discussions and reflective activities allow children to understand their emotions and develop empathy for others.
Creative Expression: Children engage in creative activities like art, writing, and pottery, allowing them to express their thoughts and emotions freely.
Gratitude Practices: Exercises focused on gratitude help children maintain a positive outlook and foster resilience.
