Every great classroom starts with a steady adult.

Not perfect—steady. We make calm the norm with a prevention-based, trauma-informed, evidence-based program built for busy ECE and PK–5 (ages 0–12) rooms: short practices, shared language, and music-supported co-regulation woven into the day.

Our Story

Classrooms are full of big feelings and in-between moments. Kind Mind gives adults simple routines to use in those moments, right away. When adults model calm, kids mirror it. When language is shared at school and at home, consistency grows. Small moves, practiced side by side, change the day—and lives.

Kind Mind’s Solution 

My name is Lee Sowles, founder of Kind Mind—a high-impact yet simple solution. Over the past two decades, I’ve worked with vulnerable children and families. During this time, I earned my Master of Public Health at Northeastern, had two children of my own, practiced meditation, taught mindfulness in schools, and completed Applied Compassion training with Stanford University. These personal and professional experiences led me to my purpose: to cultivate and nurture seeds of compassion, one person at a time. Kind Mind helps schools address challenging behaviors and bullying with a program that teaches adults and children how to co-regulate, be kind, and feel ready to learn. Our evidence-based approach is prevention-focused, trauma-informed, and designed to fit the rhythm of the day—not add to it. Today, Kind Mind is walking alongside more than a thousand educators, children and families in childcare and elementary schools—and the ripple keeps growing.
