Welcome to Mindful Minions: A Calm and Cozy Storybook Corner, where we turn the chaos of childhood into something almost zen-like—emphasis on almost. Here, children aged 3-6 gather 'round for story time that's less once upon a time and more what if dinosaurs practiced yoga? Our team of storytellers and activity gurus will read tales that captivate your minions while also slipping in a little emotional regulation on the sly. Think of it as sneaky therapy, but with dragons and princesses. 

 Interactive activities keep the fun rolling and the wiggles at bay (fingers crossed), all while teaching your kids how to navigate those big, messy feelings. And hey, we totally get that each child is their own little tornado of emotions, which is why we encourage them to bring along their own cozy sidekick—a blanket, a stuffed animal, or heck, even a favorite pair of socks. Because let’s face it, being emotionally balanced is way easier when you’re wrapped up in something snuggly.

 So, join us Mindful Minions, where we might not have it all figured out, but we're having a darn good time trying. Come for the stories, stay for the sanity-saving life hacks.
