5 Characters that meet kids on their level. Kids easily relate to and bond with the Kimochis Characters, and with the Kimochis “Feeling Pillows” that teach kids about emotions.

The Kimochis system supports the characters with a robust curriculum for kids from ages 3 to 12. The curriculum is designed to go hand-in-hand with academic instruction throughout the day, including both proactive activities and quick, easy, effective reactive tools to manage BIG feelings; when and where they happen.

• Using Kimochis can increase your school’s focus on learning.
• Using Kimochis can help kids grow into better students and eventually lead to higher functioning adults!
• Even if that sounds too fantastic, Kimochis will, at a minimum, improve your present school and classroom environment.

• Kimochis helps kids relate – to themselves, to their peers, and to their environment. Kimochis provides kids with tools to handle BIG feelings, Hard-to-Have feelings, and Easy-to-Have feelings. Kimochis helps foster an improved learning environment by giving kids relational tools and experiences in self-regulation.
• Teaching concepts of emotional intelligence and self-regulation alongside traditional academic principles are a great path to happy kids whose behavior is better, who have a strong sense of belonging, and who are part of an improved learning environment.
• Kimochis kids recognize and manage their emotions, demonstrate empathy for others, establish and maintain meaningful relationships, make responsible decisions, and handle challenging situations constructively.

• Actually, NO! Kimochis is just the opposite. Kimochis is designed to be useful as soon as you open the bag and unpack the Characters.
• Kimochis works well with tools you may already be using such as:

• The Kimochis System combines the flexibility, ease of implementation, and robustness of our curriculum to meet kids, teachers, and school environments exactly where they are. It is created entirely with busy teachers in mind! It is not necessary to learn everything about Kimochis in one big bite. The lessons are designed to be usable in 5–15-minute segments that can be quickly absorbed and taught immediately.
• Kimochis has been implemented in hundreds of schools with more than a decade of experience and refinements.
• Kimochis can be easily adapted to simplicity or complexity depending on the development of your kids. Kimochis has been modified over the past two years to meet current challenges.
• Kimochis offers lots of support, including the ability to pick up the phone and talk to a live human who is ready to help!
• We also offer tons of free resources (webinars, downloads, PDFs, feelings charts and posters in 35 languages, feelings flashcards, and lots more!) to help you get started!

• Getting started is as easy as opening the bag and letting the kids start connecting with the Characters and Feeling Pillows.
• Kimochis curriculum is identical for Tier 1, 2, and 3 as well as special education or any other group. Each child works at their own developmental age.
• Kimochis is easy to use by anyone with an interest in helping kids. No professional specialization is required. Getting started takes less than one hour of training.
• The Kimochis curriculum is flexible – easily modified for any situation, classroom, school, or child.
• Kimochis allows for communication and understanding between teachers/administrators and kids with less risk (showing vs. talking).
• Kimochis is sustainable across time and staff changes. Once you have Kimochis in a classroom, the kids will be excited to show your new staff how to use them – kids know and understand the foundational tools after the first year.

• In 2021, The Easel Lab, at the Harvard Graduate School of Education, released a report comparing 33 SEL programs, including Kimochis. If you would like the entire report, you can view and download it HERE. Of particular note are the program comparisons beginning on page 72 of the report. Each program is rated by the skill sets they target (Cognitive, Emotion, Social, Values, Perspective, and Identity).
