Preschool is a time of incredible growth, not just academically, but also socially and emotionally. At Stepping Stone Children's Academy, we recognize that these skills are crucial for children's overall well-being and future success.
Social-emotional learning (SEL) helps children understand and manage their emotions, build relationships, and make responsible decisions. Research shows that strong SEL skills in preschool can have a lasting positive impact on:
Children with strong SEL skills are better able to focus, follow directions, and engage in learning
They develop positive relationships with peers and adults, fostering a sense of belonging and community.
They learn to cope with challenges and setbacks, building resilience and self-confidence.
They develop a strong sense of self-worth and are better equipped to navigate life's ups and downs.
Our preschool program provides a nurturing and supportive environment where children develop essential social-emotional skills:
Through play, group activities, and collaborative projects, children learn to share, take turns, cooperate, and communicate effectively.
We encourage children to think critically, analyze situations, and make sound choices, building their emotional intelligence and problem-solving skills.
We celebrate each child's unique strengths and accomplishments, fostering a sense of pride and self-worth.
Through activities like story time and group projects, children learn to manage their impulses, regulate their emotions, and develop self-control.
