Welcome to SMILEY MINDS!

Smiley Minds helps children be happy by learning to be kind, calm, confident and compassionate. The happier we are, the more blessed our lives become.

The world is changing - what we teach our children must adapt. Smiley Minds focuses on emotional health - the key to future success say leading economists* - through group and 1-2-1 classes for ages three and older.

Our Approach

Our simple seven-step system strengthen’s children’s personal, emotional and social development while empowering them with life skills that will secure a successful future. We call this being #SmartWithHeart.​

By discovering their inner strengths from an early age children mature to see themselves, others, the world and their unique place in it positively. From this powerful position much needless suffering is avoided and boundless good can flow.

Our Mission
To help our children be the happiest in the world! The happier we are the more brightly we shine our light for the benefit of ALL.
