Sensory-first support for real school days.

Preliminary mixed-methods findings. Kit-specific results came from one randomized evaluation involving three classrooms across two sites and included teacher interviews, parent focus groups, and surveys. The supplied summary does not include survey denominators, response rates, study dates, effect sizes, or statistical analyses. The kit-outcomes manuscript was under review as of January 14, 2026.

The observations above are what educators and families reported. They are not independently measured product outcomes.

Ages 3 to 12, which covers preschool through most elementary grades. Younger rooms need closer adult supervision with the smaller parts.

Five component types: a Teacher Guide, Calmee the Caterpillar, a tree stump sitting cushion, an expandable breathing ball, and the Hand-Breathing + Emotions Poster. The online Parent Class is not included in the classroom kit.

Plan on roughly three by three feet — enough for the stump cushion and one student, with the posters on the wall above. Between uses the whole kit stores in a single bin or on one shelf.

Introduce the options during neutral moments, model them without performance pressure, and offer rather than require them. Keep the routine consistent enough that students recognize it before a hard moment.

Professional development training is provided regularly to schools and districts. Formats and pricing depend on the size of the rollout — our school specialist will walk you through the options.

Yes. Use is voluntary whenever possible, and a student can choose something else or return later. Nothing here treats speaking, sitting still, quietness, or a fast return to work as the correct outcome.

Cleaning is basic. Calmee and Rory can be washed and air-dried; everything else is spot clean with a damp cloth. Store the kit in one bin or on a shelf so the corner can be reset quickly between students.

Yes. Individual items can be reordered when something wears out or goes missing — tell your school specialist which component you need and it can go on the same PO.

Yes. The PO process and ordering is standard, and a W-9 can be provided. For tax-exemption paperwork, our school specialist can walk you through it — ask in your quote request.

Calm Caterpillar’s kits and program have been implemented district- and school-wide. Tell us how many classrooms or sites are involved and our school specialist will put together the right package, including multi-year pricing.

Calm Caterpillar practices can be mapped to common school frameworks, but they are not a substitute for an adopted curriculum, an individualized support plan, or professional judgment. Calm Caterpillar is not certified, endorsed, approved, or guaranteed compliant by CASEL, PBIS, a district, or any other framework owner.

No. The tools are not a treatment, a diagnosis, or an individualized clinical recommendation, and they do not replace an IEP, a behavior plan, an occupational-therapy recommendation, counseling, or clinical care.
