About Ivy Child International ™

Ivy Child International™ is a nonprofit organization advancing mindfulness-based education to support children, youth, educators, and communities. Since 2010, Ivy Child has partnered with schools, community organizations, and institutions to integrate mindfulness as a practical life skill that strengthens learning, wellbeing, and belonging.

From Seeds of Care to Systems of Healing

Ivy Child’s work began with deep trust in community through relationship-centered mindfulness practices responding to real needs in classrooms and communities. Over time, these seeds of care grew into integrated frameworks, evidence-informed models, and systems-level approaches that support sustainable wellbeing.

This evolution reflects our belief that lasting healing requires both individual practice and structural change.

A Systems-Informed Approach to Wellbeing

• Mindfulness as a practical life skill supporting regulation, reflection, and relationship
• Cultural responsiveness and community partnership as foundations for impact
• Individual practice as a catalyst for systems change, shaping healthier learning environments and institutions
