More programs added!

The programs have had a major impact on my family.  For my daughter, the programs provided her with a sense of belonging and socialization, especially during the pandemic.  It provided a lot of familiarity for her; she always looked forward to each program. The skills that my daughter learned while in these programs provided her more opportunities to interact with us, her teachers, peers, and family members. I am incredibly grateful to all the staff. They were incredible and very accessible. They have so much heart that even in online programs, they provided a sense of warmth that can be felt.  They are extremely genuine and sincere with all children and adults that attend the program

My daughter learns best from others (aka “not mom”). She enjoyed all the mindfulness activities. The most significant learning for her was the reinforcement of deep breathing with the Hoberman sphere and blowing out finger candles when she is experiencing big feelings.  These are things I have been encouraging her to try but now that I can remind her that she told Sophia, the program facilitator, that she will practice blowing out candles, she is much more likely to actually use the skill to find her calm. My daughter has been fairly socially isolated over the last year due to the covid pandemic. It was impactful for her to hear that the other participants in her class experience similar feelings in similar situations.
