Mindful moment for Pre-K (ages 3–5)

Use this screen during transitions, after energetic activities, or when your Pre-K class needs a calming break. The children will see a gentle background, a visual timer, clear steps, and a noise meter that helps them keep the room quiet.

This setup guides young children through simple breathing or mindfulness steps using pictures and easy words. It helps everyone pause, settle, and get ready for the next part of your day.

Free for teachers. Your screens, classes and uploads are saved to your account.

Questions teachers ask

How long should a mindfulness break be for Pre-K?

One to three minutes is usually enough for this age. Keep it short so children can stay focused.
