"To reach any child's mind an educare provider must capture his heart. Only if a child feels right can he think right"(Ginott, 1972) Children's Social and Emotional development is vital to their overall wellbeing. Social learning comprises the principles and strategies for interacting with others. Emotional learning is the knowledge and skills needed to recognize and regulate feelings. The social and emotional skills children learn early in their childhood impact on their future success. Current research shows that social emotional learning is a vital part of a young child's educational experience. It affects not only a child's readiness for school but also his or her overall development as a person.
