Kindness Jar Overview:

A Kindness Jar is a jar where educators can place hearts that describe acts of kindness they have performed or witnessed. Each time a child does something kind, Educator's write it down and add it to the jar. Over time, the jar fills up with numerous examples of kindness, serving as a tangible reminder of the positive actions taken by the children.
