Welcome to Coffee and Carpool: Raising Kind Kids.

I’m Nicole and am a recovering elementary school teacher, a mom to three super busy kids, and the founder of The Raising Kind Kids Club where we share strategies and resources with busy parents and educators to intentionally focus on kindness, family connection, and bullying prevention.

We have hundreds of paid and free done-for-you resources to make teaching kindness and social emotional learning to kids easy, fun, and hands-on. Email me at nicole@coffeeandcarpool.com if there’s a resource that you wish you had.
