Who is this program for

Primary school students who need additional support to emotionally regulate in a school setting.

About the program

School can be overwhelming for some kids - but with the right support, it can become a place of calm, confidence and connection. 

Cool4School is an in-school service for primary students who are finding it hard to stay engaged. Using trauma-informed tools like the Peaceful Kids program, our Child Development Specialists help children build emotional regulation, social confidence and stronger relationships. 

Every session is tailored to the child’s interests and goals, creating a safe space where they feel heard, supported and proud of their progress. Because every child deserves to feel good about learning- and know they belong at school.

This program includes

Children take part in the Peaceful Kids program, an eight-week mindfulness and resilience course that helps them manage big feelings.
Each child completes a wellbeing assessment and works with a Child Development Specialist to set personal goals, which are revisited throughout the year.
Sessions are designed around each child’s interests and may include art, cooking, movement, building or other hands-on activities that support regulation and engagement.
Families can also be connected to wraparound support through our Family Support program
“I can be myself, it is safe, and it is quiet. I love it here. On Sunday night I get excited to come to school, Mondays are now my favorite day of the week because of Cool4School”
