While Emotion Works doesn’t have a magic wand to fix all of the challenges currently facing the Early Learning & Childcare sector, we do have something rather magical and unique to help foster a positive emotional environment for Early Years staff and pupils.
Our longstanding Programme for Social & Emotional Learning is reliably informed by wellbeing & resilience research and has been developed and improved through collaborative practice for the past 15 years with the goal of achieving the best possible outcomes in learning and wellbeing for all children & young people.
Watch our video to learn more.
The Emotion Works curriculum for Social Emotional Learning is expertly designed, extensively piloted and is the perfect choice for an emotional literacy and wellbeing resource in the Early Years.
With your younger learners we’ll help you build the foundation language and vocabulary required for developing self-awareness and emotional understanding, and we’ll guide you to create a positive emotional learning environment in your Early Learning setting over the long term.
