Big Feelings Don’t Have to Mean Big Battles
Emotion Explorers is an 8-week program that brings preschoolers (ages 3–5) and their caregivers together to learn, play, and connect. Through stories, songs, and science-backed tools, kids build confidence in handling their emotions — and parents walk away with practical strategies to guide their child through big feelings.
Why it Matters
Starting school and navigating independence can be overwhelming for kids (and for parents too). Tantrums, meltdowns, and worries often show up when children don’t yet have the skills to regulate or explain what they’re feeling. Emotion Explorers gives families a shared language for emotions, tools to move through tricky moments, and connection that makes home life calmer and stronger.
What Families Gain

Handle meltdowns and tricky moments with more confidence
