The Mindset Lab Winter Registration
2026-01-19 - 2026-03-23 | BGC Cochrane & Area, 5th Avenue, Cochrane, Alberta
We’re thrilled to announce a brand-new program at BGC Cochrane & Area: The Mindset Lab!
What is it?
The Mindset Lab is a 9-week brain fitness program where kids ages 5-17 earn Mental Mastery Belts by building the executive function skills they need for school, friendships, and life.
How does it work?
Through high-energy games, movement challenges, and teamwork missions, kids progress from White Belt to Black Belt, not by age, but by mastering real skills like emotional regulation, task initiation, planning, and goal-directed persistence.
Why parents and kids love it:
• No worksheets or sitting still
• Play-based learning that kids actually enjoy
• Neurodivergent-friendly environment
• Skills that reduce daily battles and build independence
Program Details:
• Start Date: Week of January 19, 2026 – various dates & time slots available
• Ages: 5-17 (three age-based pathways)
• Pricing: $200 (1 day/week) or $350 (2 days/week)
• Registration Opens: January 5, 2026
Spaces are limited! Contact us to learn more or register! https://www.villageofplay.com/general-8

Hey Cochrane moms! Bring out the strollers, water bottles and/or warm drinks, winter coats, toques, and mittens! Our next mom walk & play date is happening:
Tuesday January 27th @ 1:00pm at the SLS Centre
Meet at the main doors!
*IF* it is not too cold out, we will walk the trail alongside the river to the Griffin Barn.
We will wrap-up our walk indoors at the free play place inside of the SLS Centre. If the weather this afternoon is not long walk friendly, we will take our entire activity this afternoon indoors to the play place and hang out there.
Come out and connect with other moms, while enjoying some fresh air and sunshine with the littles!
