Helping children feel good, while doing good
What is Mindful Service Learning?
Mindful Service Learning is our proprietary educational curriculum that amplifies the powerful benefits of service by helping children feel good and do good for themselves and their communities.
What are the benefits of Mindful Service Learning?
Our feel good-do good approach provides positive relational experiences for students including “caring, warm, and nurturing relationships with friends and a sense of belonging in school”, which directly offset adverse childhood experiences (ACEs).
Further, research shows that by activating students’ sense of purpose and service leadership, we increase academic performance, student confidence and self-esteem.
Finally, “generosity has been shown to soothe the nervous system.” Combining that with integrated mindfulness and self-compassion habits, our program strengthens student well-being and health.
What age are our programs for?
Research shows the earlier kids can build a foundation of healthy habits, the stronger their lifelong health outcomes. Our programs primarily target elementary age students. We also coach teen leaders and grownups to be guides for the younger generations, providing a full service suite for all ages.
How do we integrate Mindful Service Learning into schools for long-term, sustainable success?
Mindful Littles is committed to easy and seamless integration into school culture in the long term. We do this with a professional development approach that trains educators and other school leaders according to the specific needs and goals of their school.
