In early childhood education, it’s vital to focus on more than just academic development. Social-emotional learning (SEL) plays a critical role in a child’s ability to succeed, both in school and in life. Conscious Discipline® is a research-backed framework that integrates brain-compatible strategies to help children develop self-regulation, build relationships, and resolve conflicts. By incorporating calming techniques, structured routines, and social-emotional management tools, Conscious Discipline® helps create emotionally supportive environments where children can thrive.

At Frog Street, we recognize that early childhood education requires more than just delivering content; it’s about cultivating the whole child—emotionally, socially, and academically.

In today's ever-evolving early childhood education landscape, merging academic goals with social-emotional learning (SEL) is critical. Educators are increasingly focused on creating balanced classrooms that nurture cognitive and social-emotional development. Frog Street’s curriculum integrates strategies from Conscious Discipline® to help children build essential life skills such as self-regulation, empathy, and conflict resolution. This integration enhances social-emotional growth and promotes academic success, ensuring children thrive in environments that support their overall development.

The school year starts exciting and full of energy and opportunity. As young learners return to the classroom, design every part of your space to support their development. From organizing your environment to refreshing your curriculum, taking thoughtful steps to prepare sets the stage for a successful year.
