Socio-emotional Learning:
A Peek Inside
As a natural part of every day, children have many opportunities to develop their social skills, problem solving skills, and conflict resolution skills. del Sol teachers understand the importance of facilitating and promoting these skills for living and working in community with others. You will find a detailed introduction to how we approach these situations and skills in the menu option Philosophy and Program, last section titled Social-emotional Development, Conflicts and Problem Solving Skills. On this page, A Peek Inside, we share our value of including Empathy and Reconnection in our social-emotional curriculum.

A BLOG POST
Things happen, like one day you cut a hole in your friend's coat ... because you were really young when you did it (two weeks ago) and now you would NEVER do such a thing. And then things happen - like a field trip to the tailor to find out how to fix the hole and how much it will cost. We are excited by the field trip but not happy that our friend was upset by the hole in his coat.
Today we met Amiz, the tailor. We were mostly interested in the cool dressing rooms, but when we coaxed the tailor out from behind his counter, we found out all kinds of interesting things...like why there are the cool dressing rooms, extra shoes for men and women, why there is a platform with mirrors around it and how Amiz makes people's pants shorter. Then we got down to business and asked him questions.
Could he sew the hole? No. What could we do? . . . Measure the hole and sew a badge on. Did he have any badges? None that we liked. Where could we buy a badge? Online would be our best plan. Could we iron on the badge? Sewing was better. How much would it cost for Amiz the tailer to do it? $5.00-$6.00. How soon could it be done? It depended on how many customers he had...hmmm...Would we be a customer? Now we had a plan!
