The Culture of the Heart program

 "Beautiful resources that are a pleasure to use."

"Possibly the best school program that I have used."  

At Culture of the Heart, we believe every child deserves to feel safe, valued, and connected at school.

Our first-year programme helps children grow healthy values and positive habits, while bringing the whole classroom community together – including families. Teachers often notice that trust deepens not only with students, but with parents and carers too.

Through fun, child-led lessons and activities, children learn to understand their feelings, build strong friendships, and handle challenges with confidence. Families tell us they see the difference at home too, calmer playtimes, kinder words, and happier children.

Our vision is simple: to give teachers the tools they need to create classrooms where children can thrive, emotionally, socially, and academically.

 Support for Culture of the Heart

“As a teacher, I have used many programs, resources and online training to cover the social and emotional part of the curriculum. Nothing has come close to providing the coverage or quality of this resource…”

“…I have been using the Culture of the Heart for nearly three years and it has changed both the way I teach and the way in which my class interacts with others. It creates a kind and supportive environment with calm, well-rounded children and staff. We were lucky enough to be in the pilot scheme where I used it with my own year class. The children were an average mix of abilities and social backgrounds, including SEN. 

​At the end of just one term, my classroom had changed. Children were calmer, more settled and kinder to each other and (according to the children) I also changed for the better – being happier and calmer almost all of the time! It created a safe place where children were able to be themselves, without judgment, and explore their feelings and thoughts.

The Culture of the Heart is now part of my whole classroom practice…"
