The Program
Our program consists of a 5 day curriculum where we discuss daily objectives and complement with crafts and activities. Research shows that children’s EQ—together with their IQ—will help pave a path to future success in all aspects of life.
Day 1
Self-Love
Research shows the importance of developing self-love since early childhood. During Day 1 we focus on what makes us unique and what we love about ourselves. We encourage empathy through group discussions and celebrating our differences.
Research shows that when kids are confident and secure about who they are, they’re more likely to have a growth mindset. That means they can motivate themselves to take on new challenges and cope with and learn from mistakes. (Understood.org)
Day 2
Gratitude
On Day 2, we think about the things in our lives for which we are grateful for and talk about ways to focus on those. We practice how to incorporate gratitude in our lives through activities and take-home crafts!
Day 3
Emotions
On Day 3, we focus on different emotions to understand how they make us feel. We practice them through crafts and outdoor activities.
We focus on being able to notice, understand and act on emotions in an effective way. How can we manage feeling different emotions?
Day 4
Empathy
On Day 4, we embark on integrating all concepts from day 1-3 and adding empathy to our toolbox. We engage in dynamic group discussion and incorporate skits to elevate the understanding of the concept.
Day 5
Assertiveness
Day 5 is filled with skits and discussions to understand how to be assertive with everyone around us. We end the day and the week with a water and fun filled - FIELD DAY!
