Season Schedule

Season Schedule

You are welcome to register your child at any time! Some notes about how the schedule and tuition work with our program:
  • Our program is generally year-round at most schools. This schedule is published on a seasonal basis so you may have the conversation with your child about class closures when they occur.
  • Monthly tuition is based on 36 classes held each year. AKA: Though our program is month-to-month, total annual cost is divided equal monthly payments for your budgeting convenience and to make it affordable for all. Some months may have 5 classes, others may have 2 due to national holidays, with an average of 3 classes per month to keep our schedule flexible for parent workshops, class make-up days or school closure accommodations, as well as time available for our community outreach events.
  • Join any time and cancel anytime with no hidden fees or cancellation costs. Space is limited so register today to reserve your child's spot aboard. If there is a waitlist, you will be notified and refunded until a spot is available.

What is "Raising Kindness"?
Picture
Raising Kindness is the actionable, science-backed theory that humanity now holds so much knowledge and wisdom about the development of children and the brain that we now hold the power to change the world with one kind act at a time. We parents can now raise our family's next generation (aka our kids) more strategically and mindfully than ever before to be more kind to themselves, kind to others, and kind to the world around them. These values can be instilled in young minds through modeling what this kind of kindness looks like with our powerful (and much deserved!) decision to enjoy life with more presence, more play, and more harmony with our kids.
Doesn't this sound like a beautiful gift and way to live with our families? :)
I truly believe from the bottom of my heart that this is most certainly possible for every family - including yours. And, it is my mission to support you.
All of our programs, resources, tools, and content - including Kindness Kids Tumble Gym Bus -  are here to support your family's goal to live life more joyfully and harmoniously together.
