Welcome QA Nursery / Early Years Offer
Establishing the foundations of Emotional Literacy & Wellbeing in Early Years Settings
In today’s complex world, fostering emotional wellbeing in young children is more important than ever. At Emotion Works we firmly believe that developing emotional language and communication is fundamental for healthy emotional development and we love partnering with Early Learning Settings & Practitioners who feel the same way.
WHY CHOOSE Emotion Works?
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.
