Start Early and Mindset Tapestry Partnership for Back-to-School For Back-to-School this year, Start Early is excited to announce that we have partnered with Mindset Tapestry for a Buy-One-Give-One fundraising campaign! This means when you buy one for your little learner from Aug. 1–Sept. 12, one is given to a child in need.
The Mindset Tapestry empowers children to cultivate mindfulness, self-worth, and meaningful connection through a Daily Affirmation Chart that features the innovative holistic practice of mirror talk. Start Early introduced this innovative self-love tool to children and families at Educare Chicago and Educare Lake County schools, and Healthy Parents and Babies doula and home visiting program, as part of our partnership and our little learners can’t get enough of it!
"The Mindset Tapestry has deepened how I connect with my students. It helps me see the whole child, their strengths, struggles, and potential so I can respond with the right support at the right moment. I’ve watched children gain confidence and thrive because they feel truly understood and cared for."– Educare Chicago Teacher
