Little Tree Educates
At Little Tree, we recognize the important connection between the mind and body and how each influences the other.
Through movement, mindfulness, breathing, and meaningful learning experiences, we help children develop greater awareness of their bodies, understand and express their emotions, build healthy coping strategies, and strengthen their confidence.
By creating opportunities for children to connect their physical experiences with their thoughts and feelings, we aim to support their ability to feel grounded, focused, capable, and ready to learn. We believe that when children feel well in both body and mind, they are better equipped to build relationships, navigate challenges, and thrive in and beyond the classroom.
Our goal is to support the whole child by nurturing not only academic growth, but also emotional, physical, and social well-being.
Our Process
1. Consult and Connection
We begin with a conversation with school administrators, educators, or other relevant staff to learn more about the school community, its priorities, and areas where additional support may be beneficial.
2. Understanding your
School’s Needs
We take the time to understand your school's goals, student population, age groups, existing programming, and areas of interest. Whether the focus is emotional regulation, student engagement, physical wellness, social connection, or life-skill development, we want to understand what matters most to your school.
This is where we create a plan specifically for your school! Based on our initial discussions, Little Tree develops a customized programming proposal outlining recommended activities, services, delivery methods, scheduling, and learning objectives.
Programming may include:
Yoga and mindfulness classes
Mindfulness Mondays
Gratitude clubs
Classroom brain breaks
Breathwork during morning announcements
Yoga incorporated into physical education classes
Ongoing yoga and mindfulness programming
Educational and life-skills workshops
Professional development and teacher training
Programs can be offered as one-time sessions, short-term initiatives, ongoing clubs, or integrated school-wide programming.
3. Customized Program
Development
4. Planning and Coordination
Once a plan is established, we work collaboratively with the school to coordinate scheduling, space requirements, group sizes, materials, accessibility considerations, and any necessary administrative or safety requirements.
5. Program Implementation
Little Tree brings the programming directly to your school! Sessions are delivered in an engaging, age-appropriate, inclusive, and trauma-informed manner, with opportunities to adapt activities to meet students' developmental abilities and individual needs.
Our partnerships don't end when a program is delivered. We welcome feedback from school staff and administrators to evaluate the experience, identify areas for improvement, and explore opportunities for continued collaboration. Programming can evolve as the needs of your school community change.
