Our Mission
Founded in 1995, Wellness Inc. reflects five years of eclectic research, and a lifetime of cultivation, by its creator Karen Voght. The results represent a fresh look at 'current thinking' on the health and learning benefits of body-mind interaction to childcare and early childhood education as we transition into an electronic age. Currently three programs have been developed for children between the ages of 3 and 6 years: (1) Alphabet Fitness™, (2) Alphabet A*Kid*Do™, and (3) Kids' Wellness Imagination Workouts™. Brain mapping studies indicate slow growth of brain regions associated with language during this physically and mentally active period of growth. This lead us to look into a synthesizing of the following fields: (1) childhood play theory, (2) positive mental imagery, (3) cross-hemispheric brain-body activity, (4) bio-feedback, (5) muscular response to spoken words, and (6) relaxation techniques. As a result, our programs allow this age group to utilize their natural gross-motor, bi-lateral muscle movements and active imaginations as tools for playful reading, writing, and overall mental and physical fitness. As per Darwin, these programs are 'evolutionary tools' for children to learn to adapt to and be confident within their changing environments. Children develop a heightened level of learning and reading readiness, kindness, impulse control, and cooperating skills -- the basic prep for future school years and life. |
