A weekly movement-and-mindfulness class for children ages 1 to 5 and their caregivers is running at Thayer Public Library in Braintree, with Jennifer Lynn of Nurtured Roots leading the sessions. (365thingssouthshore.com) The class is listed at 10:15 a.m. and appears in multiple 2026 South Shore family-event roundups as a recurring Monday program through the end of April, except on Monday holidays. (365thingssouthshore.com, 365thingssouthshore.com, 365thingssouthshore.com) Thayer Public Library’s website directs families to its event calendar and children’s programs listings for current schedules, and the library is at 798 Washington Street in Braintree. (thayerpubliclibrary.org, thayerpubliclibrary.org) The program is built around playful movement, gentle stretches, mindful breathing, and quiet time, according to event listings carried by local family calendars. (365thingssouthshore.com, weymouth.macaronikid.com) Those activities are aimed at very young children who are still learning routines like sitting still, following directions, and noticing big feelings. The event description says the class helps children practice focus, calm, and emotional awareness while they play. (weymouth.macaronikid.com) Jennifer Lynn runs Nurtured Roots, a Braintree-based wellness business, and describes her work as yoga, mindfulness, and grief support for children and adults. Her business profile says she teaches yoga to children ages 2 to 5 at public libraries and works with groups as well as individual clients. (nurturedrootsma.com, braintreeopen4business.com) Thayer has worked with Lynn on other programs, including a December 2025 grief-support session funded by the Braintree Local Cultural Council, according to the library newsletter archive. That shows the library’s partnership with Lynn extends beyond a single children’s class. (thayerpubliclibrary.org) For families looking at this week’s schedule, the safest next step is the library calendar rather than a roundup post, because Thayer’s site says upcoming events and registrations are handled there. The recurring 10:15 a.m. class is the anchor, but the exact April date should be confirmed before heading over. (thayerpubliclibrary.org, 365thingssouthshore.com)
