IN THE ZONE: This group is designed to help young children (ages 4–7) better understand and express their full range of emotions—especially those big feelings that can sometimes feel overwhelming or hard to manage. Using a color-coded framework inspired by the Zones of Regulation curriculum, children learn to recognize what different feelings feel like in their bodies and how to name them with greater confidence. Through playful, age-appropriate activities, stories, and guided discussions, we build emotional awareness while exploring simple, calming strategies that promote self-regulation and pro-social behavior. The goal is to support each child in developing tools to pause, notice what they're feeling, and respond in ways that help them feel more grounded, connected, and in control.
