Struggles with focus, impulsivity, or big emotions can make daily life overwhelming—for both you and your child.
What if there was a way to help your child thrive and bring calm and connection back into your family?
🌟 Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) for PreK-12th Grade 🌟
At De Learning Compass Center, we believe that understanding emotions and building strong social skills are just as important as academics. Our Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) program helps children recognize, express, and manage their feelings while improving their ability to communicate and connect with others.
👥 Small Groups for Big Growth
Each SEL group includes no more than six students, ensuring personalized attention and a safe, supportive environment where children feel understood and valued.
🧠 What is Social-Emotional Learning?
SEL teaches children to:
✅ Recognize their emotions – Is your child feeling frustrated, anxious, or overwhelmed but unsure how to express it? SEL helps children name their emotions instead of acting out.
✅ Regulate their reactions – Instead of tantrums, anger outbursts, or shutting down, kids learn tools to calm themselves, ask for help, and make better choices.
✅ Improve communication – Whether it’s asking for a turn, making friends, or expressing frustration without yelling, children develop positive ways to interact with others.
✅ Solve problems & build relationships – We teach kids to read social cues, resolve conflicts, and understand others’ perspectives, making peer interactions smoother and friendships stronger.
🛠️ How We Teach SEL:
🔵 Zones of Regulation – Kids learn to identify their emotions using four simple color-coded zones (Blue = Sad/Tired, Green = Calm/Ready to Learn, Yellow = Excited/Worried, Red = Angry/Overwhelmed). We teach coping strategies to help children move between zones appropriately.
💬 Everyday Speech Curriculum – Students practice real-life social interactions through engaging activities, videos, and role-playing, reinforcing skills like taking turns, listening, problem-solving, and handling disagreements.
🎭 Interactive Learning – Through games, stories, movement, and hands-on exercises, children practice emotional awareness and self-control in a fun, engaging way.
📚 Who is this for?
This program is designed for PreK-12th grade students who:
✔️ Have frequent tantrums, meltdowns, or difficulty controlling frustration
✔️ Struggle with making or keeping friends
✔️ Have trouble expressing feelings or understanding others’ emotions
✔️ Need support managing anxiety, impulsivity, or social interactions
✨ Give your child the tools to thrive socially and emotionally! ✨
