Roots of Empathy

Roots of Empathy is an international, evidence-based classroom program for students in kindergarten through grade 8. The program centers on visits from a neighborhood parent and infant throughout the school year, guided by a trained instructor. Students observe and discuss the baby's development and emotions, building emotional literacy, perspective-taking skills, and empathy. The curriculum spans 27 sessions across nine themes and is designed to reduce aggression and support inclusion and healthy relationships. The program operates in Canada, the United States, and several other countries.
