Roots of Empathy

Your baby can make a difference in the lives of children in your community!

Roots of Empathy is a program for elementary school children. Program research proves that children participating are more caring, kind, inclusive, and helpful. They also show less aggression and bullying and this effect lasts over time.

To be a Roots of Empathy Family:

• Babies must be between 2 and 4 months old in October
• You and your baby “tiny teacher” will visit a classroom nine times (once a month) over the school year with the Roots of Empathy Instructor to join the students and their classroom teacher around the “Green Blanket”
• The students learn about their own and each other’s emotions by learning about your baby’s emotions
• They will celebrate your baby’s milestones such as rolling over, clapping, sitting and more
