Catherine Eubanks, founder of Best 4 Kids, has a lifelong passion for improving the lives of children.

A primary school teacher and former assistant head teacher with many years’ experience in schools, Catherine understands the overwhelming pressures many teachers and parents are under, and how hard it is to find balance in our busy lives.

She has run many training courses for staff, parents and families, to improve their lives and the lives of their children.

As a mother of 2, she has first hand knowledge of the importance of emotional resilience and self-belief in children.

Catherine firmly believes that nurturing wellbeing through early intervention and social and emotional education is the key to keeping youngsters on track to becoming successful, happy adults.

Her courses in mindfulness, yoga and social & emotional skills teach children and adults the foundations of how to be socially and emotionally resilient.  This in turn has a positive impact on their academic or workplace achievements and wellbeing in general .
