Mentoring Tiny Humans was created over 9 years ago after the owner became a mom. The owner and operator, Typhanie, has over 25 years of experience working directly with children in various ways, including at educational facilities and in immediate trauma education as a volunteer with Trauma Intervention Programs, and holds a degree in communications and cultural studies with education in Counseling studies. The program is based on the owner’s personal parenting philosophy that she is not raising a child, but mentoring a human, with responsibilities as a parent to help her own tiny human navigate and understand the world around him in an autonomous way as he learns to become his own person.

Mentoring Tiny Humans provides neuro-affirming classes, field trips, tie dye workshops, tie dye supplies, clothing, and crafts for all ages and all abilities. Each class uses a multifaceted, hands-on, and multi-sensory approach with intention and consideration to provide an autonomous, empathetic, child-led, and inclusive learning environment for all students, especially the autistic and neurodiverse community. Students are encouraged to explore their unique learning styles through neuro-affirming play-based education with opportunities to work on self regulation and communication in whatever form, as well as interpersonal skills such as empathy, emotional awareness, self and situational awareness, self advocacy, and boundary setting in a safe and understanding environment. Weekly opportunities for engagement and monthly social activities such as park days, field trips, camps, and more are offered, and options are provided for charter and self determination funding, including acceptance of charter funds from Mission Vista Academy.

The organization works to create a unique sensory space and provide fidgets and information about the facility or event in order for families to make decisions ahead of time and to collaborate in advance on accommodations or supports. Mentoring Tiny Humans partners with Neighborhood Forest to provide children with free trees and serves as a central pick up location. It also works hand-in-hand with many local libraries, specifically the Canyon Lake library, to offer monthly events and giveaways and to create a unique sensory space and provide activities specifically for the special needs community. Tie dye offerings use only professional and proprietary fiber reactive dyes so the colors will not fade after washing. Sales from the shop help to fund free and low cost events throughout the Temecula Valley, as well as free community events, field trips, tours, sensory spaces, and free consultation services.
