Primary Classroom Curriculum 2025

With over 12 years of expertise in mindfulness and wellbeing science, Smiling Mind has developed an evidence-based mental fitness program to build lifelong skills. In the same way kids learn about physical fitness, we can teach them mental fitness through regular practice and empower them to thrive.
