Kindergarten Readiness
Core Skills for Academic Transition
We develop literacy and numeracy basics by focusing on foundational skills such as letter recognition, counting, and understanding shapes. We emphasize listening skills, following instructions, and practicing classroom etiquette to foster an environment where children gain academic knowledge and the social skills needed for school success.
Social Skills for Future Success
At Peace of Mind, we focus on building self-confidence, cooperation, and teamwork in young learners. Through structured group activities and cooperative play, children learn to share, listen, and work together, fostering their ability to contribute positively in a group setting. These skills are vital for future academic and social success.
Emotional Resilience and Self-Regulation
We help children understand and manage their emotions through mindfulness activities, breathing exercises, and storytelling.
