Holistic Development for Young Learners
Focus, emotional resilience, and wellbeing — so literacy and learning can stick.
A Kidscatchup CSI / CSR track that pairs academic catch-up with age-appropriate mindfulness and social-emotional skills for Foundation Phase classrooms.
Holistic Development is a Kidscatchup CSI / CSR track that supports the whole child —
academic catch-up works better when children can focus, regulate emotions, and relate kindly to others.
This builds on our published mindfulness work:
Mindfulness for Kids: Building Focus and Emotional Resilience.
Not an NPO: Kidscatchup is an education content and delivery partner.
We can assist NPOs and implementing partners to deliver CSI / CSR holistic-development programmes for funders and schools.
Confidential materials: Full lesson scripts, facilitator guides, session plans, and commercial terms
are shared only under partnership discussion (NDA available on request).
What partners can expect
Focus
Attention skills that support classroom learning and reading practice.
Feel
Age-friendly emotional regulation — name feelings without judgment.
Relate
Empathy and kinder peer interaction in group settings.
Report

How the lessons work
Lessons use playful, classroom-friendly activities — breathing, guided visualisation, mindful colouring, and storytelling —
so children learn to pause, breathe, and notice feelings with calm curiosity. Suitable for home or school with teacher or facilitator support.
