Roots of Empathy - Louisdale

Roots of Empathy delivers an innovative classroom-based parenting program that aims to reduce aggression through the fostering of empathy and emotional literacy to school children at the Grade Primary or Grade One level.  It provides an opportunity for children to observe the growth and development of a newborn over a nine-month period.  Along with a monthly visit from a local family, the program also involves a monthly pre and post baby visit.  The program facilitator works hand-in-hand with the classroom teacher.
