In this episode we talk with Dr. Sanayi Beckles-Canton, Executive Director Chloe Day School & Wellness Center, former Pastor at Emanuel AME Tuckahoe Church, and fellow healing-centered educator. The Chloe Day School and Wellness Center is a Reggio Emilia-inspired progressive, inclusive, trauma-informed preschool and community wellness space that embraces families and individuals from all backgrounds. Their preschool and wellness space takes a progressive, trauma-informed – approach to learning, child development, healing, and family empowerment. They believe that children are intrinsically curious and can make meaningful discoveries when given opportunities to explore, play, and experience their environment.
Their Wellness Center, the Healing Space, is a wellness collective aimed at helping the Harlem community find healing from trauma and intergenerational trauma. By supporting people in being intentional about their healing and wellness, they take a person-centered approach to their work.
