Our Commitment to Excellence: Maryland State-Rated & Accredited Childcare in Silver Spring 

Quality you can trust, with flexible payment options and military subsidies to support families in Howard County. 

Introduction:

Feeling charts are a simple and effective way to support emotional awareness. These charts display different emotions using pictures or facial expressions that young children can recognize. Parents can encourage children to point to how they are feeling throughout the day.  

Using feeling charts help children build emotional vocabulary. When children can name their emotions, they are better able to communicate their needs. This tool supports positive discipline by shifting the focus from behavior to understanding feelings.
