About this Session

In Transitional Kindergarten (TK), strong relationships and a sense of belonging are the foundation for every part of the day. From classroom setup to daily routines, your environment and approach can promote connection, reduce challenging behaviors, and support children’s social and emotional growth. In this session, we’ll explore strategies for building a positive classroom community and setting the stage for success—right from the start.

During this webinar, you’ll explore

  • how to design your classroom space to encourage positive behaviors and emotional safety,
  • practical ways to foster a strong sense of belonging for every child, and
  • strategies for supporting and reinforcing positive social and emotional development throughout the day.

Together, these approaches will help you create a TK environment where children feel connected, supported, and ready to learn.
