Big Feelings, Little Voices – Learning Through Puppets

We know that understanding emotions is just as important as learning letters and numbers. That’s why we’ve introduced our Social and Emotional Puppets Program—a playful, engaging way for children to explore big feelings in a safe and supportive space.

Our lovable puppet friends help children learn about emotions, empathy, friendship, and problem-solving through stories, role play, and open conversations. The puppets create a sense of comfort and connection, allowing even the shyest children to express themselves and feel heard.

With the guidance of our educators, the puppets act out everyday scenarios that children might face—like taking turns, managing frustration, or making new friends. Children are invited to help the puppets solve problems, offering their own ideas and building resilience, confidence, and communication skills along the way.

This program supports key areas of emotional development and aligns with the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF), helping children identify, name, and manage their emotions in healthy ways.

Through laughter, stories, and shared experiences, our puppet program is bringing social and emotional learning to life—one conversation at a time.
