• Social-Emotional Learning

     

    The preschool years are very important. We want your child to be as ready as possible for kindergarten. This is not just about knowing letters and numbers. It’s also about knowing how to learn and get along with others. In our pre-k counts program, social-emotional learning is embedded throughout the day in the various activities and play centers that the students participate in.

    The Second-Step Program that is used in the elementary grades is introduced in our Pre-K program. The Second Step program teaches skills in the following four areas:

    1. Skills for Learning: Children gain skills to help them be better learners, including how to focus their attention, listen carefully, and ask for help.

    2. Empathy: Children learn to identify and understand their own and others’ feelings. Children also learn how to show care for others.

    3. Emotion Management: Children learn how to calm down when they have strong feelings, such as worry or anger.

    4. Friendship Skills and Problem Solving: Children learn how to make and keep friends and to solve problems with others in a positive way.
