What is the cost of a TAP workshop?
We have a number of program variations. We work with the teachers and leaders to create a program that works for them and supports their learning objectives. Prices vary from $250-$500 depending on the nature of the program & the number of workshops requested. We would be pleased to discuss this with you and find the best fit for your students & community.

Please email Kirsten Sixt or Rindy Bradshaw at info@tap-toronto.com.
Workshops can be an half hour or an hour depending on the age of the students attending. Each workshop discusses a topic of your choice & a rich Q & A session that follows each topic. Each student is able to ask his or her question, breaks down barriers, promotes healthy discussion and creates kinder more inclusive communities, now and in the future.
Is there any opportunity to receive a subsidized TAP workshop?
Yes, we have allocated funds for schools that are wanting our program but cannot afford to cover the cost per workshop. Please contact one of our TAP Directors either Rindy Bradshaw or Kirsten Sixt for more details about this available option.
What is the best way to prepare for a TAP workshop?
Before TAP comes to your school, it would best if teachers talked to students about the topics that are going to be addressed during the workshops. We encourage students to bring their questions or concerns to the workshops.
Are there any follow up activities available?
Each school that has our workshops will receive a folder containing follow up activities that we would encourage teachers to use in their classrooms to keep the conversations going. There are other useful links and activities on our website under Teachers Resources.
What programs do you offer?
We have programs for students in kindergarten, grades 1-3 and 4-6. We help create kinder, more inclusive communities through our workshops and our interactive discussions. We cover topics that include, but are not limited to: mindfulness, friendship strategies, emotional regulation, accepting differences in ourselves and others & mental wellness.
How long is a workshop?
Each workshop usually lasts 45 minutes to an hour with a rich Q & A session after each topic is presented. Workshops for kindergarten students only usually last half hour including the Q & A and with one topic presented. Workshops can be customized to meet schools’ particular needs and local curriculum requirements.
As a teacher, is there a benefit in having the program come to my school?
All of our programs incorporate Ontario curriculum expectations for grades 1-6. With today’s world of technology, the engaging art of puppetry combined with rich discussions helps students work through difficult situations and helps answer difficult questions in a safe and inclusive environment.
