It is with the heart that one sees rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye.

Shanley & Jenna
Co-Founders
We are the co-founders and creators of the Heart Matters, Social and Emotional learning programmes.
We are driven with immense passion for nurturing "smart hearts", raising emotionally intelligent children and helping them understand how important emotions are. We believe it takes a village to raise a child and recognize that the love, guidance, and emotional support from parents, educators and caregivers together, lay a solid foundation for a child to experience an emotionally healthy childhood.
Through our programmes we teach children the essential skills to help them navigate life's challenges with resilience, compassion and confidence, empowering both the children and the adults who guide them to build a brighter, more empathetic future.
Let's make the early years count in the most meaningful way we can.
