"I wish more of our upper grades did this! Kimochis® can help older kids too. The program reminds me to be more mindful of our students' feelings and validating them. The Kimochis® Way doesn’t tell teachers to just get through the curriculum like most other curriculum but helps give my students communication tools."

Letty G. – Teacher

"The Kimochis® program is practical, intuitive and easy to implement. I love giving children concrete tools for handling tricky situations."

Michelle W. – Teacher

"I witnessed how children connect easily to the different Kimochis® characters like Cloud™, Lovey Dove™, Cat™ and Huggtopus™ that demonstrates the same feelings that a child can have. These Kimochis® characters support the children by creating a fun-loving environment to express their feelings and support them in a challenging behavior to promote overall development of a child."

Divya G. – Preschool Teacher

"I have personally seen the difference the curriculum makes in the lives of my students and families. The curriculum has the ability to transform a learning community with its messages of inclusion, compassion, and self- awareness"

Jetta J. – Instructional Coach

"This is the most integrative, fun and accessible SEL curriculum that I have found for preschool through elementary age children in my 25 years as a practicing psychologist. Because it is designed by educators, both the manual and online resources are super simple to learn and implement in the classroom."

It’s time to shift mindset from, “it’s not a good time” to “now is the PERFECT time.” If you don’t it will be an endless cycle. The good news is, Kimochis® is easy and cost-effective to implement!
  1. Start with counselors. This will help extinguish the hottest fires and create breathing room to assess where to go next.
  2. Start with 2 classrooms. This starts to get at the root causes – ALL children deserve behavioral and character instruction, not just those being referred out.
  3. Start with a grade level. This is the foundation of permanent change. As you expand, your entire school culture will transform.

Life is hard for kids that are disregulated. It only gets worse as kids age, and harder to reverse.

Signs of a disregulated child can include:

  1. Teenager: no friends & good at school; no friends and bad at school.
  2. Conflict, anger, resentment, isolation.

"As a mom to children lucky enough to go through the Kimochis® program, I can honestly say that Kimochis® was an essential part of their early education. Kimochis® gave my kids the language to communicate how they were feeling."

Jennifer B. – Parent

"We feel that Kimochis® are immensely helpful in aiding children to understand "feelings" better...especially for [our child]. It was much easier for us to talk about the characters with him and how they relate to him, compared to when we were trying to help him identify his feelings as an abstract concept."

Tien H. – Parent

"My 5- year-old is very expressive with his feelings and understands what it feels [like] to be ‘Left Out’ and the importance of involving others in his play with the help of Kimochis®"

Divya G. – Preschool teacher
