About the Project

This project aims to provide a dynamic approach to fostering social and emotional growth in transitional kindergarten and kindergarten classrooms by integrating structured and unstructured dramatic play experiences into the curriculum. These experiences will help young children develop essential skills such as empathy, self-regulation, communication, and problem-solving. Students will practice understanding and managing emotions, negotiating with peers, and navigating complex social situations by engaging in role-playing activities. Through a combination of teacher-led guidance and child-directed play, the project will offer opportunities for children to express themselves creatively, build positive relationships, and enhance their emotional intelligence.
