Venue: ONLINE via Zoom (Access Link will be Provided Prior to PD Workshop)

Participate in an INNOVATIVE, FUN, and PRACTICAL workshop! Engage children in fun, active and developmentally appropriate learning using the Kimochis® characters and Feeling pillows to foster social-emotional development.

The Kimochis® Curriculum is designed to give children the knowledge, skills, and attitudes they need to recognise and manage their emotions, demonstrate caring and concern for others, establish positive relationships, make responsible decisions, and handle challenging situations constructively. These skills have been identified by leading researchers in the field of social and emotional learning as necessary for school success, academic achievement, positive social relationships, and the development of emotional competence.

We’ll start by taking an adventure behind the scenes into the world of neuroscience, psychology and emotion coaching to give a greater understanding of what takes place in a child’s development, to see how and why these tools work. From there, it’s a day of practical tips, tools, laughs, and fun as we explore what Kimochis® can offer in your setting on a day to day basis.

Please note: You will need an internet connected/enabled device to access the PD workshop. The access link and all relevant handouts will be provided prior to the PD workshop.
