About Wondergrade

At Wondergrade, we have an ambitious vision: that every kid would one day have a home where they felt safe and supported expressing and working through any emotion.

We know that for this to happen, kids need fun tools to help them navigate difficult emotions, and parents need their own toolkit to calm their own triggers, model healthy emotions, and become a safe place for their kids big feelings. Wondergrade creates fun tools to help kids and their parents regulate big feelings and build a healthy relationship with their emotions—and each other.

About our founder

Hey, I am Kristi Coppa, the founder of Wondergrade.

For many of us, the things we were taught about our feelings as kids weren't helpful (or weren't taught at all), and now that we are parents, we want to do things differently. However, with past triggers and limited tools, this can feel nearly impossible. That's why I created Wondergrade.

Wondergrade is the outcome of a grown-up, anxious child-turned-mom (me!) who was determined to heal her own emotional wounds and give her kids a more nurturing place to learn about their feelings then she had growing up. I hope that if more kids have fun, engaging tools to learn about their feelings and more parents feel seen, supported, and have tools to regulate their own emotions, it will lead to a kinder world built by more parents equipped and passionate to nurture their kid's emotional development.

I am a mom of two (8 and 10), a former oncology nurse, and a kids yoga and mindfulness teacher. Although I am a native of the Pacific Northwest, a couple of years ago, I sold everything I had and moved my young family to Costa Rica, where I currently live with my husband, girls, and two pups. I love doing just about anything outside (hence the move to the sun!) and spend most weekends hiking in the jungle, soaking up a sunset happy hour on the beach, or hanging out by the pool with my kids.
