humanKIND Classroom™ is a story-based program that helps children ages 4-7 practice communication, self-regulation, friendship, and everyday classroom skills through simple routines that fit naturally into the school day.
What if we could teach these skills proactively, through simple routines children can practice every day?
Each theme combines a Little Dude story with simple discussion, movement, play, and reflection. Teachers can use these activities to model and practice social skills during everyday classroom moments — without adding another complicated program to their day.

"Her books are so engaging and the curriculum was easy to implement. The multisensory approach really changed the way our class interacted and made the children much more cognizant of their peer interactions and of themselves!"
