Supporting little people with big feelings
Village Early Education is proud to partner with Tiny Souls, a social and emotional learning program designed to help young children understand their feelings, build confidence and develop positive relationships.
Through music, stories, videos, activities and playful learning experiences, Tiny Souls introduces important emotional skills in ways that are engaging, age-appropriate and easy for children to understand.
Children experience a whole world of emotions. Our role is to help them feel safe, heard and supported through every one.
The Tiny Souls program provides our educators with practical, research-informed tools that can be included naturally throughout each child’s day. These resources support meaningful conversations about feelings, friendships, kindness, resilience and emotional regulation.
Children learn best when they are engaged, connected and having fun. Tiny Souls supports this through:
These experiences help children recognise and express their emotions, understand the feelings of others and develop skills they can carry with them as they grow.
Strong partnerships between families and educators help children feel secure and supported.
Tiny Souls provides families with access to helpful resources and activities that can also be explored at home. This creates a consistent approach and gives families simple ways to continue conversations about emotions, relationships and wellbeing beyond the classroom.
Tiny Souls is a social and emotional learning program that uses music, stories, videos and activities to help children understand their feelings, build confidence and develop positive relationships.
