Child Connection Programme Users
Educational Organisations for Children
1. Marlborough Primary School
Auckland, New Zealand
"Children Massaging Children programme fits very nicely into our Healthy Schools and Hauora Health & Wellbeing programmes. We introduced the programme in 2002 and I still hear great comments from parents of our school kids saying'My son comes home and massages my head when I am feeling stressed out after a day at work. It's lovely'," Chris Wargent, Principle of Marlborough Primary School.
2. Kindergarten No.45 (Przedszkole Integracyjne)
Warsaw, Poland
"Kindergarten No.45 has been using Eva Scherer's Children Massaging Children programme since 2003. This programme is applied systematically working with healthy and disabled children between the ages of 4 and 5. The direct touch and massage positively influence the building of closeness and empathy between children as well as supporting their correct development. Additionally, this programme is simple to use and kids enjoy it," Monika Mokrzyszczak, Director of Kindergarten No.45.
3. A-Kuku Kindergarten (A-Kuku Klub Malucha)
Warsaw, Poland
"Right after introducing the Children Massaging Children programme into my nanny club we have noticed the positive effects straight away. We practice it three times a week. When it is time for massage all kids excitingly jump and take place on the blankets and joyously await the beginning of the session. Watching the positive effect this programme has on the children in my kindie I am planning to tell parents about benefits of massage, so that they can massage their kids at home," Dorota Jakubowska, Director of A-Kuku Kindergarten.

Sovereign Sunshine
Sovereign Sunshine gives Kiwi Kids a brighter future. In 2005, Sovereign launched a community-based programme called Sovereign Spirit.
