What children practice
Words for feelings, and for kindness
Every circle begins the same way: How are you feeling today? From there, children learn the words and actions that make a group feel safe.
Naming feelings
New feeling words, and noticing where feelings show up in the body.
Listening well
Listening with eyes, ears and heart, and saying back what a friend said.
Everyone belongs
Noticing when someone is left out and inviting them in.
Kindness in action
Planning a kind act at home and sharing how it went.
Week by week
Four gentle weeks
One theme each week, with the same calm routine every time.
- Week 1
Naming my feelings
Feeling words and a feelings color wheel to use at every check-in.
- Week 2
Listening ears, kind words
We play Echo, repeating what a friend said, and practice kind words to say back.
- Week 3
Everyone belongs
We talk about feeling left out and act out inviting someone to join in.
- Week 4
Kindness in action
Each child plans one kind act for home, and we build a group kindness chain.

The Montessori way
Grace and courtesy are taught, practiced and modeled, never simply expected. The Kindness Circle gives children words for feelings and kindness, a safe place to rehearse them, and a routine they can carry home.
Questions families ask
Good to know
My child is very shy. Will they have to talk?
Never. Children can pass, point to a feeling card or simply listen until they are ready.
How is this different from Community Building Circles?
The Kindness Circle is a gentle feelings check-in. Community Building Circles go further into fairness, group decisions and working out conflict.
Is this therapy?
No. It is a social and emotional learning circle led by an educator. If you have concerns about your child’s wellbeing, please talk with your child’s doctor or counselor.
