Please get in contact to discuss how we can deliver workshops/classes that best suit the requirements of your setting.
“All staff were impressed with how the workshops catered for the different age-groups, especially in Reception. An EYP commented on how well the children engaged with Laura and that it was age appropriate... The children have loved their breathing pebbles and have been using some of the mindful moments they learnt throughout the day. Staff were also taught ways to differentiate mindful moments for different learners - an idea that is so simple but also very effective.
If you would like to kick start a "kind minds curriculum" in your school then look no further than Laura and Kate at The Kindness Curriculum! ”
