About this event

You've most likely heard about "mindfulness" but may have thought it was just the latest buzzword in the world of education. Mindfulness is about paying attention to the here and now (also known as being "present.)

Mindfulness reconnects children to their five senses, bringing them into a moment by moment awareness of themselves and their surroundings through breathing exercises, visualization activities, and learning how to focus on learning opportunities, such as Circle Time, Small Group Time/Learning Centers, and Large Group Time. Research shows that mindfulness helps children be more attentive, less anxious, and better able to handle their emotions and self-regulation. As children build and strengthen these skills, they become capable of exhibiting empathy, compassion, patience and acquire better emotional and social skills.
