Andrea Jebb's Dedication to Early Childhood Development
As an Early Years Educator and single parent, Andrea wanted her children and students to embrace diversity and be resilient in the face of life's challenges. So, she introduced wellness routines early on, witnessing amazing transformations in her classroom and at home. Gratitude, breathwork, meditation, touch therapy, and healthy habits worked wonders for her boys as well as the children in her care. The children became emotionally aware, found joy in life's blessings, and displayed positive behaviours like mindful eating. Their strong bond fostered open communication, where they freely shared their feelings, allowing them to problem-solve and display resilience. Inspired, she envisioned the impact of these practices on all children, especially in schools. Thus, she launched a pilot study at Junior Genius Childcare, Ireland's first Early Years Wellness School. The study in partnership with Christine Clinton, Chair of the Global Wellness for Children Initiative revealed remarkable outcomes: increased engagement, improved emotional intelligence, effective self-regulation, and stronger connections among students and teachers.
Motivated by these results Andrea and Christine Founded Education from the Heart.

Incorporating Education from the Heart into your school setting is crucial for supporting children's overall development. It will positively impact their physical and mental well-being, self-confidence, learning abilities, and social interactions.
By neglecting these aspects of wellbeing, we can hinder their learning potential, impair social-emotional development, and lead to conflicts in the classroom.
Education from the Heart prioritises health and wellness, to help you create a balanced and positive learning environment that benefits the whole child and enhances learning outcomes.
