Mindfulness curriculum in pre-K

A pre-kindergarten class at P.S. 212 in Jackson Heights, Queens, is learning more than just the ABCs and 123s. Students are being taught kindness. In 2013, the school started teaching its students a combination of yoga and mindfulness-based practices. But just a few months ago, it became one of the first public schools in New York City to introduce the kindness curriculum, which was developed by the center for healthy minds specifically for pre-K students.
