MINDFULNESS FOR EARLY LEARNING CENTRES

What Is a Kids' Mindfulness Program?

Our ELC kids' mindfulness incursion is a fun, inclusive, and non-competitive program designed to introduce and engage students in accessible mindfulness and calming techniques. With ELC programs, we typically divide the group into age categories (e.g., 2-3 years old and 4-5 years old) and run two 30-minute classes for each group.

 

Benefits of ELC Mindfulness Programs

​Students aged 1 to 5 undergo significant physical and cognitive changes, and our mindfulness programs have far-reaching positive effects on their health and wellbeing:

1. Happy Feelings: We learn fun ways to understand and manage our feelings when we have big emotions.

2. Feeling Good Inside: Joining in helps us feel calm and focused, which makes us feel good about ourselves!

3. Knowing Me and My Feelings: We learn about our inner world and how our bodies feel.

4. Quiet Time: We do gentle activities to help our bodies and minds feel still and peaceful.

5. Focused Attention: We practice fun ways to help us pay attention and concentrate on what we're doing.

​

What Is Involved in Our Kids' Mindfulness Sessions?

• Gentle Activities: Sessions are filled with calm, age-appropriate activities that encourage inner exploration and focus.

• Imaginative Journeys: Mindfulness concepts are often woven into creative stories and themes to capture children's attention.

• Basic Mindfulness Practices: Children learn simple and safe mindfulness exercises, adapted to their developmental stage.

• Creative Exploration: Kids are encouraged to express their inner experiences through quiet movement, music, and art.

• Calming Moments: Gentle activities like simple breathing exercises, body scans, and quiet reflection are introduced to help children connect with their bodies and feelings.
