Pre-K Through 12th-Grade Programs
The Physiology of Learning and Performance
The supplemental online and classroom learning programs available below are based on HeartMath’s research into the physiology of learning and performance.
This research was incorporated in the development of evidence-based tools and methods that enable students to better recognize and self-regulate stressful emotions and overcome blocks to learning.
The tools are easy to teach and simple to learn. They can be adapted to virtually any culture and age group.

HeartSmarts® Adventure (Pre-K – 1st Grade+)
HeartSmarts Adventure is a comprehensive blended learning program that combines a leader’s guide for teacher or parent-led instruction with a fully developed online learning program in which children can move forward at their own pace.
Trauma informed and based on the earlier evidence-based Early HeartSmarts program, HeartSmarts Adventure presents a new and engaging way to teach children how the heart works and new habits for keeping it healthy and strong. Along the way, children will learn about their emotions, how to manage them and the expression of compassion for themselves and others.
As they move through the six artfully crafted Adventures, children will enjoy completing more than 60 absorbing activities. At the heart of the program are three special self-regulation techniques that help children learn to take charge of how they think, feel and act. When the last Adventure is over, children will possess important life-affirming knowledge and skills that will serve them throughout their childhood and into adulthood.
