Our Curriculum

The mission of Casey’s Clubhouse™ is to offer a holistic, integrated curriculum, and support materials that make real differences in the lives of children and families using Best Practices as our guide. We use a combination of research and technology, and pull from psychology and neuroscience as we look to support a whole mind-body system rather than just pieces and parts.

We teach 6 SECTIONS of skills...

Regulation

The ability to monitor and manage your energy, emotions, thoughts, and behaviors based on the environment, people, and objects in your surroundings, leading to greater self-control.

Awareness

 The ability to notice what's going on outside and inside of you. Awareness of factors like the environment and people around you, as well as your energy and how you feel, help you better direct your intentions and author your life.

Determination

The ability to focus your energy, emotions, thoughts, and behaviors toward a certain goal while facing both the comfortable and uncomfortable, exciting and boring, and positive and negative sides of the journey.

Problem-Solving

 The ability to react and respond to problems by way of calmly assessing and applying fair solutions, using effective communication and cooperation.

Confidence

The ability to rely on, trust, and believe in yourself and your power in your life and in this world. This sureness leads to greater assertion for yourself and empathy for others. Confidence is the ability to rely on, trust, and believe in others, too.

Mastery

The dedication to learn, practice, and perform something so confidently that you can teach another. It is an ongoing practice rather than a goal to achieve.

explored through 6 CONCEPTS...

SCALE-ING

We use the idea of scales to learn how to balance our interactions, energy, emotions, thoughts, and behaviors. We introduce an acronym called SCALE to help kids regulate with the steps: Stop, Calculate, Act, Listen, and Evaluate. 

AUTHORING

We use the idea of writing, narrating, and creating our own story to learn how to increase our awareness and "edit" our interactions, energy, emotions, thoughts, and behaviors.

TWO SIDES

We use the idea of a two-sided coin to think about how our determination is affected by positive and negative factors and how that connection changes our interactions, energy, emotions, thoughts, and behaviors.

FOUR-SQUARE

We use the idea of four-square, a familiar children's game, to show how small and big problems interact with frequency to define a problem and lead us to solutions for our interactions, energy, emotions, thoughts, and behaviors.

BILL OF RIGHTS

We use the idea of our bill of rights to better understand both our rights and responsibilities in friendship so we can gain the confidence we need to expect and deliver fair interactions, while balancing our energy, emotions, thoughts, and behaviors.

YOU TEACH ME

We use the idea of You Teach Me as we close out the year to encourage club members to teach us their best understanding of lessons involving interactions, energy, emotions, thoughts, and behaviors.

...guided by 5 PILLARS of learning.

  • LESSONS
    The weekly animated lesson breaks down each corresponding chapter and teaches the skills that Casey himself learns and practices! Casey provides an example of the topic by demonstrating how it applies to the real world.
  • HOME ACTIVITIES 
    A worksheet-style activity is sent home with each student to reinforce what was learned in the lesson. These home activities encourage students to include family members in their journey and share what Casey learned that week!
