Our 3 and 4-year-old kinder children take part in a weekly Mindfulness Program led by Kerri, who is qualified in Tibetan Singing Bowl Therapy and Sound Healing.

Using calming Tibetan sound bowls, gentle breathing, relaxation, mindfulness and guided experiences, children are supported to slow down, regulate emotions, build confidence, and feel more connected to themselves and the world around them.

Research shows mindfulness experiences in early childhood can help support emotional regulation, concentration and listening skills, confidence and resilience, relaxation and reduced stress, and self-awareness and empathy.
