What is ?

Whether you're in a preschool classroom or teaching upper elementary, you play a key role in helping children develop the emotional skills they need to thrive. Sprout is a flexible, research-informed toolkit designed to complement your work—whether you're supporting a child in the moment, introducing social-emotional skills, or guiding families with helpful strategies.
For Preschool & Early Childhood Educators
In early childhood settings, emotional regulation and social skills are learned side-by-side with ABCs and 123s. Sprout offers developmentally appropriate language, visual supports, and interactive ideas that align with how young children learn best—through play, repetition, and connection.
How can fit into early learning?

-
Introduce a card during morning circle to teach a new emotional skill
-
Use visuals and language from a card to reinforce a classroom expectation (e.g., taking turns, naming feelings)
-
Share a card with a parent at pickup to support consistency between school and home
-
Use during transitions or calming corners to give kids choices for how to self-regulate
Developmentally aligned
Easy to implement
Builds continuity
