The Mindful Pre-K program is specifically designed to support the development of the whole child-physically, cognitively and emotionally through play. Play-based learning has been shown to decrease stress and increase mind-body health, physical and mental coordination, direction following, early literacy, emotional intelligence, self-control, empathy, resilience, and learning readiness.

WHO WE ARE 

The Studio was created by Samantha Lock, Studio Owner with 25 + years in childhood education, 11 of those years with Dare County Schools as the administrator of the After School Enrichment Program, CPD Certified Mindfulness & Meditation Teacher, RYT Certified Yoga Teacher, NC Certified Child Care Administrator, Degrees in English & Child Development, certified Move With Me Yoga Adventures Instructor,  Founder of OBX GO FAR, a local non-profit dedicated to childhood obesity prevention. 

"I believe to inspire someone is the greatest gift we can give!"  I created this space so children could have a safe environment to learn vital life skills such as kindness, empathy, compassion, resiliency, strength and peace. Our curriculum is a self regulation and mindfulness curriculum that is designed to help children understand their emotions so that they can better cope with fear, anxiety, frustration and those emotions that often keep us from having a happy and healthy life! The Studio is a special place where every child can feel safe, loved and free to be themselves! 

FOR MORE INFORMATION & TO REGISTER

We combine a mindfulness curriculum called “Move With Me- Mindfulness and Self-awareness” (for more info go here: www.move-with-me.com) with our own mindful movement practices we have developed in our studio over the past 7 years called Studio Karma Kids. When children are in a safe and loving environment they will grow and thrive, it is our intention to be that loving, safe, inspiring space for children.

WHY MINDFULNESS

Self-regulation and mindfulness skills are vital for developing social/emotional intelligence needed for lifelong success.  Mindful movement helps children not only learn cognitively in the brain, it is also learned and processed kinesthetically in the body. When you nurture the body physically you nurture the mind both cognitively and emotionally. We believe that every child is unique in their needs, wants and personalities so we strive to provide an environment that invites children to think for themselves, problem solve and explore their emotions.
