SOCIAL-EMOTIONAL RESOURCES
for Preschool Teachers Who Want Calm, Joyful Classrooms
You’re an early childhood educator
who pours their whole heart into their classroom.
who pours their whole heart into their classroom.
And you know these early years are about more than preparing students to master academic content in kindergarten (and beyond).
- You’re committed to giving them the skills they need to thrive, both in and out of the classroom.
- You’re making space in your day-to-day for social-emotional learning.
- You’re looking for support you can count on to simplify SEL—and you just found it.
You're seeing this
too, right?
Our preschoolers are coming to us needing more social and emotional development support than ever before.(No, it’s not just your students!)
They might be struggling with self-regulation after a friend snatched the toy they were playing with right out of their hands.
Or bouncing back after a frustrating twelfth attempt to build a rocketship out of magnet tiles.
Or politely asking their new friend to play grocery store (and dealing with it when they’re not-so-politely turned down).
Or you know, solving any minor issue or conflict on their own.
It feels like your classroom just isn’t working like it used to.
And you don’t know what to do about it.

It feels like your classroom just isn’t working like it used to.
And you don’t know what to do about it.
The teacher down the hall doesn’t know how to help (or she just told you to tighten up your consequences and be more strict).
You tried to get more support from students’ families. But even after the phone calls and meetings, you still haven’t noticed any changes in their behaviour. You’re reaching out for guidance, but it still feels just as tough.
You want to find a way to create the calm, nurturing environment your students deserve (and the one you crave, too!). You know your preschoolers are capable of developing these essential skills—if only you had the right support.
Day after day, you find yourself searching for intentional strategies and specially designed social-emotional activities for preschool students made by a peer who cares about SEL as much as you do.
One who’s been right where you are. One who’s still where you are, working in preschool classrooms each week. One who knows how valuable it is to invest in your students’ well-being. One who knows that early childhood education is its own world with its own needs.
And that's where I come in.
Have you ever sat there at the end of the day wondering, what’s missing?
And why does this feel so hard?
You know that you need to go beyond rewards and positive attention. You know nothing will make a difference for your preschoolers the way intentionally teaching social-emotional learning will.
It can be hard to find the time to plan for more activities (on top of all you have to do). But you still found your way to my website, probably on your own time—because you care that much. So, let me handle the planning and prep from here.

Meet the Early Childhood Teacher
Hi, I’m Sara — and I want to help you effortlessly put together the pieces of the SEL puzzle with engaging social-emotional activities for your preschool classroom. With a focus solely on social-emotional activities for preschool teachers, I’m working to create the pieces that go into that puzzle, so you don’t have to.
This is a space where preschool teachers like you can find lessons, activities, and strategies that are 100% focused on early learners.
(Seriously, imagine never again having to adapt the lessons you find on Pinterest or the resources you download from TpT—you know, the ones that always seem to be made for older children.)
My training is in the early years. My expertise lies in the early years. My passion is the early years.
My goal is to make teaching SEL easy for busy early childhood educators around the world who aren’t just looking for social-emotional activities for their preschool classrooms to fill the time.
No—teachers like you are here to make a difference. And that’s what my resources help you do.
