“I appreciated the instructors dedication to modifying the program to meet the needs of the children. Although it was a slow and rocky start, the instructors showed extreme patience with the children who were having challenges participating in the program. They were flexible and adaptable and put the children’s needs first and kept their expectations of the children at an appropriate level.

I want to especially highlight the teacher’s strong understanding of how to support children who are facing barriers to participation, her time spent thinking of new strategies to support the challenging behaviours, and her flexibility and patience with the students.”

“My students really enjoyed everything. They liked the fun activities and also enjoyed the relaxation and mindfulness part. I am very impressed with the teacher, who was able to manage the class and help my students to go from excitement (with the fun part) to the relaxing stage.

The children took away the realization of the positive impact on being relaxed and mindful. I reinforce the mindful part in our daily activities, and I see a lot of improvement in their ability to be calmer and to self-regulate.”
