In preschool, young children learn how to move through the world, navigate challenges, manage their feelings, and be a friend. These foundational skills follow children their entire lives and, after nearly two isolating pandemic years, they are more important than we’ve ever realized. A preschool that can support your child’s social-emotional growth is one of the most important investments you can make in your child's life. In this discussion you will learn:
 
1. How preschools address children’s social-emotional needs
2. How to gauge a school’s approach to social-emotional learning as you research schools
3. Why social-emotional learning is so important, especially now
