My team and I are always reflecting and working on updating our knowledge and methods at Little Darlings to benefit the children in our care. Bree our supervisor came across this article by doterra blog link below: about Essential Oils in the classroom.

We put the oils to practice by playing “guess that smell” with the children.
The children had the choice of 3 jars each containing a cotton ball with a drop of essential oil. The activity allowed the children to use their sense of smell and then assosciate the smell with an object or experience
Here are the comments
Lavender:
Lemon
Peppermint
We also have been burning the oilsdaily within our environment and have noticed a real calming effect amongst the children, which has extended concentration during activities.
We recommend you get some for home for the whole family.
