Fostering Social and Emotional Learning in Kindergartens

EduSkills+ SEL is a free online platform designed to support kindergarten teachers in bringing social and emotional learning (SEL) into everyday practice. Developed and tested by researchers and practitioners, it provides guidelines, activity plans, and stories that connect educational theory with the realities of kindergarten life.

You Make the Difference!

You already know it: Social, emotional, and "learning to learn" (so-called metacognitive learning) are not just pedagogical buzzwords - they are the foundation for successful development and harmonious everyday life with children.

With your attitude, your knowledge, and your commitment to the children, SEL comes to life. The methods and materials offer inspiration - but they only unfold their full impact through you. You guide children to feel safe and confident, to understand themselves and others better, to shape relationships, and to grow with optimism.

We wish you and the children an enriching journey - with hands, heart, mind, and lots of joy in discovery.
