The case for school-wide SEL
SEL works best when
the whole school uses it
Consistent culture across every classroom
When students hear the same songs and language from every teacher, counselor, and staff member, SEL skills become a shared vocabulary.
It's great when individual teachers incorporate SEL, and it only gets better when everyone shares the same tools and language, in every hallway, every classroom, every day.
Supports teachers, not just students
SEL supports everyone in the room. And SEL Core reduces lesson-planning load so educators can show up with more energy, patience, and presence for their students and themselves.
Works for every staff role
Music teachers, classroom teachers, school counselors, and therapists can all use SEL Core, building a culture, not just a specialist's tool.
Extends to families
Family engagement resources let parents and caregivers reinforce SEL language and skills at home, bridging school and family in a way that makes the culture stick.
Aligned to SEL competencies
Every song and resource maps to the 5 SEL Competencies: self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, relationship skills, and responsible decision-making.
Embedded,
not bolted on
SEL Core is designed to live in daily routines; morning meetings, transitions, calm-down corners, and family communication, so SEL is woven into how your school operates.

FROM EDUCATORS
As a therapist and mom, I cannot say enough good things about The Zoo of Emotions. My kids are OBSESSED with the song and book. My toddler specifically keeps asking for it again and again. He loves making all the animal sounds and I love that he’s learning how to identify feelings. It’s a win-win!

There is a LOT of content and it's well worth the money! My students loved these SEL activities and all the extension ideas. Will be using this for years to come.

“Zoo of Emotions” is one of my favorite songs by Narwhals & Waterfalls (I have so many ☺️) and it’s now a book!!! 📚 My preschool class absolutely LOVED “Zoo Of Emotions” 🦁🐧🐶🐬🐰 and I used this song in accompaniment with so many SEL activities. Acting out our emotions helped us all express ourselves, explore our emotions and calm our bodies in morning meeting to start our day as well! ☀️ So many possibilities! I love that it’s now also available in book format!
