Karma Kids Pre-K Programs
WE ARE EXCITED TO OFFER 2 PRE-K PROGRAMS THIS YEAR TO MEET THE NEEDS OF MORE FAMILIES!
MINDFUL PRE-KThe Karma Kids Mindful Pre-K program is designed to support the development of the whole child-physically, cognitively and emotionally through play. Our specialized preschool curriculum uses mindfulness based practices, nature, stories and hands-on activities to encourage those first steps toward building the foundational skills for reading, writing, math and science. It is our intention to nurture the whole child by addressing the social and emotional needs as well as the academic needs of each individual child. Our small group setting allows for more one-on-one support, improves academic success and promotes a peaceful environment for children. The Pre-K School year starts September 2024 and is offered Monday-Friday from 8:30am-12:30pm through May.

PEACEFUL PM PROGRAMThe Peaceful PM program is designed to specifically address the social and emotional (SEL) needs of children. Our new Pre-K curriculum we created in collaboration with Taking Shape Non-Profit, called Karma Kids Taking Shape is a mindfulness based program designed to build emotional intelligence (E.Q.) in youth ages 3-6. Mindful movement helps children not only learn cognitively in the brain, it is also learned and processed kinesthetically in the body. 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. Peaceful PM days will begin September 2024 on Monday-Friday from 12:30-4:30pm.
