Info Session for Head Start Leaders

Across New England, Head Start and Early Head Start teams are doing deeply meaningful work for children and families every day.

They are also holding a lot.

Program leaders are supporting school readiness, emotional wellness, family engagement, inclusion, staffing, classroom quality, and the complex needs children bring with them into the learning environment. Educators are moving through busy days filled with arrivals, transitions, circle time, mealtimes, rest time, big feelings, peer conflict, family communication, and the constant work of helping children feel safe enough to learn.

At Kind Mind, we believe regulation is not extra. It is foundational.

Young children do not learn in pieces. Their emotions, relationships, routines, environments, and sense of safety all shape their ability to participate, connect, communicate, and grow. When children have simple tools for noticing their bodies, naming their feelings, breathing through hard moments, and returning to calm, they are better able to engage with the people and learning around them.

And when educators have practical tools they can use in real classroom moments, they feel more confident, grounded, and supported.

That is why Kind Mind was created.

Kind Mind helps early learning programs bring simple, regulation-first practices into the everyday rhythm of the classroom. Through short videos, ready-to-use materials, shared language, and practical tools, Kind Mind supports children and educators during the moments that shape the day: transitions, circle time, waiting, sharing, mealtimes, rest, and reconnection after big emotions.

For Head Start programs, this work aligns naturally with a whole-child, whole-family approach. Kind Mind supports emotional wellness, trauma-informed care, educator confidence, social-emotional development, and consistent classroom routines without asking teams to abandon what they are already doing.

Instead, it adds a missing layer: the internal regulation practices children and adults need to move through the day with more calm, awareness, and connection.

On July 16 at 11:00 a.m. ET, Kind Mind Founder and CEO Lee Sowles is hosting a free virtual Head Start Info Session for Head Start and Early Head Start leaders across New England.

This session is designed for program directors, education managers, mental health and disabilities managers, family services leaders, coaches, and early learning leaders who want to learn how Kind Mind can support calmer classrooms, stronger relationships, reduced behavioral challenges, and more confident educators.
