A Mindful Approach To Learning

from Preschool to Primary School

Holistic Life Schools aren’t just high-quality child care, preschool and private elementary schools. Our Virginia Beach program embodies a unique approach to learning. This approach enriches the mind, body and spirit, representing the whole child. We accomplish this unique approach through our eight building blocks that further promote a fun, nurturing and brain-stimulating environment.



CRITICAL THINKING


Bloom’s Taxonomy provides the framework for peacekeepers to promote critical thinking and higher-ordered questions.




EXPLORATION


Peacemakers are free to explore using STEAM and Inquiry-Based Learning practices.




MOVEMENT & EXERCISE


Peacemakers become mindful of their bodies through movement meditation.




NUTRITION


Peacemakers practice mindful eating and learn nutritional education for optimal health.








SLEEP HYGIENE


Peacemakers learn sleep hygiene and the importance of adequate rest to restore the body for optimal health.




MEDITATION


Meditation, reflection, and guided imagery help peacemakers to become more resilient under stress, more present to the moment and better able to focus amid distraction.




CHARACTER BUILDING


Through books, discussion and modeling of the peacekeeper, peacemakers will learn good character, such as feeling and showing empathy for others, establishing and maintaining positive relationships, and making responsible decisions.




MINDFUL OF EMOTIONS


Peacemakers will learn to self-regulate, self-awareness and interpersonal skills through meditation and peacekeeper’s assistance. As a result, peacemakers will learn to be intentional as opposed to being reactive.
