Character Education for Young Children

In designing Character Education for Young Children, we pushed their learning capabilities to the max. Imagine walking into a classroom of children, three years old and ten lessons later, those children are holding a knife and fork correctly, cutting and eating in the appropriate manner, and feeling very proud of themselves. By learning how to shake hands, make introductions, handle an emergency, be respectful, and display correct table manners, young students will have the confidence necessary to succeed.

Teacher Guide of 10 hands-on lessons designed to teach character education to children ages 3 – 7
