I'm so so grateful that I had stumbled upon mindful space when searching for holiday camps for my P1 son. As my son has difficulties in controlling his emotions, I had wanted a camp that was focus on emotion well being. There aren't many kiddos camps around that focus on that. I had first reached out to the instructors to let them know about his situation to see if they are okay to accept my son. Vernessa who I had spoken to was very assuring over the call and welcoming for my son to join the 5 days of camp. Throughout the 5 days of camp, there had been episodes where my son was unable to control his anger and was disruptive to the class, but the instructors were able to understand him at his level and taught him to regulate himself without disrupting of the class. Despite the outbursts, my son still look forward to going to the camp every morning and shares that he enjoys himself. More importantly, he had great takeaways from the camp and had shared with our family - like learning how thoughts and words can be powerful and how if affects our habits and character. My husband and I are also in awe with the level of understanding and care that the instructors have for my child. They provided much insights to my child's behaviour and made many helpful suggestions. Vernessa had also introduced us to a therapist who may assist my child better. The team had also provided a super detailed write up and suggestions 1 to 2 weeks after the camp which is really helpful!
Much as we love our child, his emotions outbursts can be hard to deal with and at times leave us helpless and frustrated. We had started counselling sessions for a few months which had helped initially but seem to be at a standstill for awhile now and seems like we are back to the initial stage of helplessness. Vernessa and her team was able share new perspectives on my son's behaviour and their suggestions becomes our new tools to help our son in regulating his emotions and for that we are really grateful. The detailed observation of our child will not be possible without the love, care and big hearts from team. Kudos to Vernessa and her team for creating this safe and healthy programme and space for the kiddos!

My boy just completed the 1 week mindful space camp. To be honest, he wasn't really looking forward to it initially as he thought it would be boring. After the 1st day, he actually couldn't wait to attend the next day's class!
After the camp, I can tell he is trying very hard to incorporate the values he learnt from the camp into his daily routine. Am very happy to receive a very detailed report of his behaviour and the difficulties he faced and how he managed to overcome those during the camp. It helps me to understand my child a little bit better too. There were also suggestions on how we could further support our child in areas that he is not strong in. The trainers are all very friendly and approachable too.
I'm very glad I came across this camp. My child had alot of fun and he learnt alot. We could actually see a difference in his behaviour in the short span of 5 days. Thank you and please continue doing what you do!

We recently engaged mindful space for a mini workshop for preschool parents and educators on how we can have some learning about children’s different temperaments and strategies in helping adults to understand the little world of our young children. Through the workshop, many relevant examples and practical strategies were shared that enlightened the way we possibly can use to handle young children in their melt downs. We appreciate the the knowledge sharing from the speaker, Ms Vernessa, who is patient and interactive in answering the queries both parents and educators may have. We certainly we would consider for more session in time to come! :)) We have tried some of the strategies and now we also seen some little improvement of the little ones. Thank you! :)

My 12 year old daughter attended a 3 days Mindfulness Holiday Camp at Mindful Space. She loves all the teachers and the entire program especially the aerial yoga session so much so she is asking if I can sign her up for more! It is not easy to find aerial yoga classes for tweens/teens. I hope Mindful Space will organise more events/classes cater to her age group too! Thank you for brightening up her summer vacation with your awesome camp! And thank you for the comprehensive classroom observation review and photos after the camp. My husband and I are truly impressed by the professionalism of your service.
