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?

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.
