Social and emotional development starts early.

From recognizing emotions to just talking and hugging, small things make a big difference.

In the early years, your child’s social and emotional health is every bit as important as their physical health. It impacts how they express emotions, deal with stress, develop friendships, and helps to determine their connections to the world around them through stories, conversations and play. It’s a crucial part of your child’s development, and you have everything it takes.
