An 8-week termly emotional resilience program for preschoolers (ages 3-5) and their caregivers, grounded in play, connection and practical tools to navigate big feelings. 

 



 



This is more than just play.

Emotion Explorers is a structured, developmentally-informed program that helps preschoolers (3-5yo) understand their emotions, grow their confidence, and strengthen communication skills — with their trusted adult right beside them.

Each session follows a familiar rhythm. Children explore their emotional world through stories, songs, movement, and craft — while you stay, observe, learn, and connect alongside them.

This isn’t about helping kids “stay calm". It’s about building resilience, practising real-life tools, and learning how to express big feelings in ways that actually work.

Why parents stay. And what they gain. 
You're not just watching from the sidelines. You are part of it. 

While your child grows through play, you'll be learning too. You'll gain simple, actionable tools to help both of you navigate the emotional chaos of daily life with more confidence and connection. 

You will walk away with:
  • A clearer understanding of what is going on behind the tricky behaviours
  • Effective strategies to support your child in the moment - without battles or bribes
  • Language that builds connection, not conflict
  • Confidence to show up with clarity (and less guilt)
  • A village - a small community of like-minded parents.
This program isn't just for your child. 
It's for you too, so that you feel supported, equipped and not so alone in the hard parts of parenting.

Why full-term matters.
Emotion Explorers is designed to build skills and confidence gradually over time.
By committing to the full 8-week program, your child will benefit from:
  • Predictability and routine that supports emotional learning
  • The chance to form friendships and a sense of belonging
  • Repetition and rhythm that make emotional tools stick
  • Real progress - week by week. 
Casual sessions don't offer the same growth. Consistency creates the conditions for real change.

What parents are saying:
What parents are saying:
"The activities were thoughtful, engaging, and perfectly designed to support both children and parents in exploring emotions together. It’s clear how much care and passion goes into each session, and the welcoming, supportive atmosphere made us feel instantly part of the community. Thank you for creating such meaningful and valuable space for families." - Reem (mum of 3yo)
"Carolina's Emotion Explorers program is like the perfect balance between playgroup and school. But unlike kinder and daycare, you as the mum can experience being present with your kid, learn some tips and tricks for managing their (and your own!) emotions, and continue talking about it with them when you go home.

Hello. Let me introduce myself.
I'm Carolina - the creator of Emotion Explorers and the face behind The Connected Mamma. 

I've spent over 20 years supporting young children, first as a teacher and more recently as a parent coach. I am also a mum who understands how big, beautiful and messy these early years can be. 

Emotion Explorers was born from my belief that when kids are given the tools and the safety to understand and express their feelings - and when parents feel informed and supported - things start to shift in powerful ways.

This space is for your child to grow...and for you to build confidence, deepen your understanding and feel even more connected to the parent you want to be. 

I can't wait to meet you.
