Our Story & Our Why
Amy and Jill wanted to help make a difference in kids’ lives and created this curriculum to bring kids together emotionally and help them learn how to best connect with themselves through empathy, compassion and fun! With their combined 20 years in parenting, they noticed over time, that kids are managing through more and more isolation through the lack of free neighborhood play, increased scheduled enrichment activities, and pervasive screen time (our kids are on screens a lot, too, because they are everywhere!!).
Through Connect Kids, their goal is to teach kids how to build skills in mindfulness, self-agency and leadership, through the lens of empathy and compassion. We aim to instill a growth mindset that promotes self-love, ultimately empowering kids in their own lives to create positive change.
