An early childhood educator and mindfulness coach for over 10 years, Marketa oversees the calm room, a dedicated classroom open five days a week for kids to decompress between classes or as a respite from an overstimulating playground. The calm room is an open space for restoration with quiet activity stations, yoga, meditation, soft music, and extra homework help. This space has been especially important to our students who are easily overstimulated, need extra emotional support, or need a space for calm restorative conflict support.
