Mind Body Align expands Labyrinth Adventures to preschoolers

Mind Body Align is extending its Labyrinth Adventures curriculum to children ages 3-5, adding a preschool lesson set that teaches attention, emotional regulation and relationship skills through stories and activities. The pre-K program is now on pre-order, while the company’s K-3 books and curriculum are available for immediate shipment.

Why it matters: - The preschool expansion gives educators a way to introduce attention, calming strategies and relationship-building before children reach kindergarten. - Mind Body Align is creating a continuous learning path from ages 3 through third grade, which can help children revisit the same core skills at each stage. - The program targets skills linked to emotional well-being, social development and executive function during early childhood.

What happened: - Mind Body Align announced the preschool version of Labyrinth Adventures on Oct. 29, 2026, during the Michigan Library Association’s Annual Conference in Novi, Michigan. - The new program is built for preschoolers ages 3-5. - The Labyrinth Adventures Pre-K Lesson Set adapts all 16 K-1 Lily Series story lessons. - The lesson set uses simpler language, movement, hands-on activities and age-appropriate reflection. - Each lesson runs 15-20 minutes. - The company’s existing Labyrinth Adventures curriculum serves kindergarten through third grade.

The details: - The preschool lessons help children explore emotions, practice calming strategies, build attention and strengthen connections through storytelling. - Founder and CEO Annamarie Fernyak said children do not need to wait until kindergarten to start building the skills that help them thrive. - Fernyak said young children already experience big feelings, frustration, distractions and relationship challenges. - The company says the early lessons give children repeated chances to pause, pay attention, understand emotions and connect with others. - The curriculum uses illustrations by Art Mawhinney, who is best known for his work with Disney. - The materials also use stories, movement, playful exploration and everyday experiences familiar to preschoolers. - The program is designed to fit into existing early childhood learning settings. - Educators can reinforce the lessons through conversations, activities and classroom interactions. - Julie Braumberger, Mind Body Align’s director of education, said preschool is an ideal time to teach children that they have tools to help themselves when things feel difficult. - Braumberger said the goal is to make the skills understandable and enjoyable while giving educators simple ways to reinforce them throughout the day.

Between the lines: - The launch reflects broader demand for social-emotional learning tools that are age-appropriate, easy to repeat and simple to use in classrooms and libraries. - Mind Body Align is positioning the books as both a curriculum and a circulation-friendly resource for story time and family use. - The pre-K version broadens the audience beyond schools to early childhood centers, libraries and community organizations. - The company is leaning on a story-based format rather than a stand-alone skills workbook, which may make the content easier to adopt in everyday routines. - The release also ties the program to the idea that early experiences shape self-confidence and long-term learning habits.

What’s next: - The Pre-K expanded program is available for pre-order. - The K-3 book series and curriculum are available for immediate shipment. - Preschools, early childhood education centers, libraries and community organizations can now prepare to introduce the program before children enter elementary school. - Mind Body Align says more information and free educational materials are available at Mind Body Align.

The bottom line: - Mind Body Align is moving its Labyrinth Adventures curriculum earlier in the learning pipeline, betting that preschool is the right moment to start building attention, regulation and relationship skills.
