Our Culture And Values
Mission
EQ4Kids develop emotional intelligence among children from a very young age through our unique curriculum focusing on the four colour temperaments.
Vision
To help children in developing their emotional intelligence through the establishment of franchises that will teach the EQ4Kids curriculum in schools and private classes firstly in South Africa and then across the world.
Values
We strive for a spirit of excellence in all that we do. We treat each other, the parents, school personnel and children with respect and empathy. We are committed to EQ4Kids, believe in positive thinking and will persevere against all odds to make a positive impact in as many children’s lives as possible.
We Aim To
Given an uncertain future, we at EQ4Kids, want to contribute to a society where children, as adults, will be:
- Socially aware, adaptive, capable and effective
- Psychologically resilient
- Self-aware and self-sufficient
- Ethically conscious
- Open to learning
- Mentally capable
We believe that all human beings are valuable, able and responsible and should be treated as such.
Our purposes are:
- To maximise the potential of children and,
- To help them to form stable supportive relationships, to enjoy greater wellbeing as well as academic performance.
Our Franchise Offering
EQ4KIDS (www.eq4kids.co.za) is part of SEEDS OF INSPIRATION (www.lynettebeer.co.za). This programme was originally designed for ages 3 - 6 years but has since evolved to include primary and high school students to ensure that children of all ages get the opportunity to develop their emotional intelligence.
The latest statistics show that children who were part of an emotional intelligence development programme in their early years tend to be more successful later in life. Did you know that IQ only contributes 21% to success in life? It is precisely for this reason that it is of vital importance that each child's emotional intelligence is developed before the age of 7.
The EQ4kids programme can be presented as follows:
- Option 1:
School principal decides to incorporate the EQ4Kids syllabus into their curriculum - Option 2:
Obtain permission to present the EQ4Kids programme externally at schools and parents voluntarily register their children - Option 3:
An EQ4Kids Franchise owner makes use of his/her own facilities to present the EQ4Kids programme.
You will be able to determine your income on your own time while enriching the lives of children. Choose your area anywhere in the country and we will approve it in terms of availability. Please note you can give the classes in either English or Afrikaans. The lessons are available in both languages
What makes us different?
We have a panel of specialists who work together to ensure that our curriculum is continually evolving and fine-tuned to the best advantage of the children. Our franchisees get continuous support pertaining to marketing, training, and advice.
Classes are presented on a weekly basis during school terms. The classes are presented by the franchisees or their own facilitators. Class lessons and guidance are provided by Head Office. During each lesson the children (3-6 years) receives a Take Home Product. (Older children receive one Take Home Product per term.) After each lesson parents receive a letter pertaining to the theme of the week with some age-appropriate tips that they can do at home.
Our Directors, Lynette Beer and Antoinette Steyn, are both well-known motivational speakers who are also available to help out with presentations and workshops for schools on themes such as bullying, conflict resolution etc.
