Rising with Resilience: How Kidazzle Memphis Teaches Emotional Intelligence to Young Learners
At Kidazzle Flying Start in Memphis, we believe children need more than numbers and letters to thrive — they need emotional strength.
That’s why we make emotional intelligence (EQ) part of every lesson, every story, and every smile.
From morning circle time to pick-up hugs, we help children understand their feelings, build empathy, and learn to express themselves with confidence.
Because when children know how to manage their emotions, they take off — in school and in life.
What Emotional Intelligence Really Means
Emotional intelligence is the ability to recognize, express, and manage emotions in ourselves and others.
For young children, this looks like being able to say:
“I’m sad because I miss my mom.”
“I’m happy we played together.”
“I’m mad, but I can calm down.”
At Kidazzle Memphis, these small moments of awareness lead to big breakthroughs in communication, self-control, and friendship.
Emotionally intelligent children are more resilient, more confident, and better prepared for every new adventure ahead.
How Kidazzle Teaches Feelings in the Classroom
Our teachers weave emotional growth into the rhythm of each day.
Feelings Time: Each morning, children pick emotion cards and talk about how they feel.
Storytime Reflection: Teachers ask, “How do you think this character feels?” to build empathy.
Problem-Solving Through Play: Children learn to share, wait patiently, and resolve conflicts gently.
Calm Corners: Soft spaces give children a chance to pause, breathe, and reset before returning to play.
By making emotions part of learning, children learn that it’s okay to feel — and even better to talk about it.
