This Project CLASS (Children Learning Appropriate Social Skills) initiative adapts Project CLASS specifically for 3-5 year old children and the adults who work with these children. Research shows that the most learning occurs during the first 5 years of life, making it the optimal time to teach the basic social, emotional, and relationship skills. Significantly concentrated attention is focused on teaching and learning of skills such as how to pay attention, give eye contact and follow instructions. Extensive utilization of the music, songs, and books specially created for this age group maximizes learning and retention of the social skills.

Workshop Training for teachers and staff provides the foundation for implementation of this program. A continuum of additional implementation assistance, including on-going or as-needed
On-Site Consultation is available to interested Early Childhood Centers and Pre-schools.
