Welcome to Eudaimonia Kids!
We're so excited to have your child join us for a journey into big ideas, brave thinking, and beautiful questions.
At Eudaimonia Kids, we believe children are natural philosophers. They wonder about fairness, friendship, truth, time, and what it means to be a good person—often in ways adults have forgotten to. This program was created to celebrate that spark.
Through storytelling, dialogue, creativity, and reflection, your child will explore questions that don't always have one right answer—and learn to see thinking itself as an adventure.
We are Mental Health & Addiction students at Humber Polytechnic with a deep passion for child development, emotional well-being, and inclusive learning. We also welcome and encourage parents to stay and participate during sessions.
Thank you for giving your child the space to ask big questions and be heard.
With warmth,
Garnet Lyndon & Chelsea Michael
