what we do!
In our mindfulness sessions, children may participate in simple breathing exercises, guiding them to take calming breaths and promoting emotional well-being. Mindful listening activities, where they focus on various sounds around them, enhance concentration and awareness. Creating a calming corner with soft pillows and blankets provides a designated space for relaxation. Mindful storytelling or guided imagery exercises help children tap into their imagination while cultivating a sense of peace. These practices at Susana's Family Daycare aim to equip children with valuable tools for emotional resilience and self-discovery in a supportive and tranquil setting.
