Lifelong Tools to Build Resilience
Learning healthy coping skills can be fun, playful and light-hearted with our evidence-based curriculum.
Energize, Relax, Play, Connect
Using a play and evidence-based approach, we share a blend of mind/body tools designed to soothe the nervous system. Using deep breathing, music, mindfulness, yoga postures, cooperative games, and guided imagery, children create their own unique toolbox of stress resilience strategies to use in daily life- all while having fun!

Evidence-Based Programming
For three years we worked with the Denver Afterschool Alliance (DAA) and their Quality Counts system to engage in a continuous quality improvement process.
The process of improvement involved data collection using the Weikart Center‘s Program Quality Assessment (PQA). One key takeaway from our engagement with the DAA was the development of an evidence-based program and curriculum rooted in promising practices of youth development as defined by the Weikart Center’s PQA.
