Originally developed by Lynn Louise Wonders in 2003 and implemented in multiple preschool settings between 2003 – 2007 under a different name, S.E.A.L. Social Emotional Awareness Literacy for Preschoolers® is an early learning program for young children implemented in preschool settings by mental health professionals to assist children, teachers and parents in increasing awareness and skills for identifying, expressing and managing emotions while developing effective respectful assertiveness and communication skills.
Observations were collected and studied from 2003 – 2007 by Lynn Louise Wonders and what was observed was that when young children learn skills for awareness and adaptive expression, communication and self soothing, the degree of aggression and other problematic behavioral markers in the preschool settings and at home were reported to reduce with teachers and parents reporting remarkable improvement. Now, Lynn has brought in preschool expert and consultant Amy Nelson, LCSW, RPT-S as a guest instructor who has rich career experience specializing in working in preschool settings who brings her expertise to this training program for mental health professionals.

Amy Nelson, LCSW, RPT-S also brings her professional experience and expertise in working with preschoolers in preschool settings to this certification training for mental health professionals.

Being a certified S.E.A.L. Social Emotional Awareness Literacy for Preschoolers® provider prepares counselors and child therapists in private practice to introduce the program to local preschools and early childhood development centers during the morning week-day hours when typically most child therapists are not seeing clients at their offices.
S.E.A.L. Social Emotional Awareness Literacy® program for preschoolers offers preschools an opportunity to have a licensed mental health professional implement 12 weekly in-class lessons, 2 teacher trainings and 2 parent trainings so that the curriculum can live on beyond the 12 weeks the mental health professional provides the training on site. Each preschool will compensate you to train the children, teachers and parents students.
