Building child care communities mindful enough to nourish young children.

Our Mindful Purpose!
The purpose of Teach Zen Inc is to provide the child care industry with the self care tools needed to manage BIG emotions that will create safe and effective learning environments were everyone thrives.
There is an early education crisis happening in Delaware and across the nation.
There has been numerous research conducted that highlights the impact that trauma has on the brain and cognitive development. Our youngest children and the professionals who care for them are not given the tools necessary to nurture and support their own resilience and ability to self regulate despite the traumatic experiences they may have or are experiencing each and every day. Teach Zen has a mindful plan to create mindful early childcare classrooms and programs in Delaware.
Meet Our Founder
Kyma Fulgence, a survivor of over 5 ACES and someone who knows first hand the impact of trauma on the cognitive brain. She struggled with PTSD, chronic depression, ADHD, and other emotional disorders most of her life as a result of her childhood experiences and being raised in poverty. During her work as an early childhood educator for 10 years in the city of Wilmington, she began her meditation practice at her most heightened state of increased stress and burnout. Kyma's child care experience spans over 20 years and wellness practices has expanded to her sharing her love for meditation, mindfulness, and self care practices with her community. She developed the One Love, One Heart curriculum after closing her child care business and offering it to child cares. She was able to offer the program virtually during the Covid 19 pandemic on Facebook.
Kyma is an early education and wellness advocate and consultant. She has worked as a facilitator/consultant to the "Shining the Light on You Program", a wellness initiative out of the Delaware Institute for Excellence in Early Education (DIEEC)/University of Delaware. The research of the program was recently published in the Delaware Journal of Public Health. Kyma Consulting LLC, offers personalized professional development to child care centers, sound and mediation experiences, and 1:1 wellness coaching to the adults responsible for the care of young children. Her work as a member of Harambee DE, a community of non profit founders and leaders of color of the Proximity Project- gave her the resources and courage to step into her passion and purpose in hopes of reaching more children in the early educational community and ensure a learning environment that nourishes them holistically.
