When used in each classroom or through school-wide assemblies, the Kimochis program helps schools build a strong, positive, communicative school culture and climate.

​

The Kimochis curriculum can stand alone or enhance and extend an existing character education program. Kimochis lessons teach children to be:

• Respectful: Use a respectful voice, face, words, and actions; listen to upset feelings

• Responsible: Speak up for self or others; admit and own mistakes

• Resilient: Work through emotion alone or with help; bounce back from difficult moments

• Compassionate and Kind: Have empathy or concern for others; look for moments to be kind to self and others
