View of the Zen area in Cedar room.
The zen corner is designed to foster a space for peace and mindfulness. We created this space for children seeking a quieter, slower pace environment that is calming and soothing: a place where children can find rest. Our cozy set-up provides sensorial elements which can be found in a child’s home: soft pillows, soft tactile toys, sensory activities, quilts and draped transparent fabrics.

We hope these materials, together with the children’s family photos, will help children feel right at home. It’s our aim that this space can be used by children who require solitary play and to empower all children to form coping and self-regulation strategies to deal with stressful situations. A private place to get away is especially important for children in full-day programs.
