BarnYard Buddies Program
Who and Why
Welcome to our program tailored for children ages 5 and up where we empower participants to effectively manage their emotions and foster compassion for others. Our Animal Interaction activities are designed to enhance teamwork, alleviate anxiety, improve communication skills, and promote sensory awareness. All this while teaching mindfulness and calm.
The Program
Join our nurturing 5-week program designed for kids, where fun meets moments of calm and mindfulness. For the first four weeks, children will engage in a 2-hour session each week filled with activities and peaceful moments to help them be present and centered. The fifth week will be a special session for both parents and children to share in the experience, scheduled on a date that works best for your family. With one leader for every two participants, each child will receive personalized support throughout the program.
